Overview

Chris Millar Award The Chris Miller Award is a recognition of extraordinary scientific achievement in the field of membrane transport. It honors scientists whose work has transformed our understanding of how metabolites, ions, drugs, and other molecules cross biological membranes. This award is named in honor of Chris Miller, whose groundbreaking scientific accomplishments and exceptional mentorship helped shape the membrane transport community and inspired generations of scientists. While the award is typically given to a single recipient, up to three individuals may be jointly awarded if they have contributed equally to the same area of work. The award, which consists of a plaque and a $2,000 honorarium, will be presented at the Membrane Transport (MT) subgroup symposium, where the recipient(s) will also give an award lecture.
