Society of Chemical Industry: Young Lipid Scientist Award Grant

The Young Lipid Scientist Award, established in 2014 by the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI), recognizes emerging talent in lipid research across various scientific fields. Open to PhD students in the UK, this award includes a £100 prize, a certificate, and up to £400 in expenses for presenting at international conferences. It aims to promote excellence in diverse lipid-related research areas such as neuroscience, metabolism, and disease prevention.

Established 2014
This award is to recognise excellence and emerging talent in research related to lipids, in any field across the physical and life sciences and engineering. Example areas include, but are not restricted to: neuroscience, digestion and metabolism, crystallisation of triacylglycerols, lipid oxidation, functioning of phospholipid membranes, compositional analysis, processing and disease prevention.
Description of Award
The winner will be selected by a vote of the Lipids Group Committee, and presented with their award at the end of the event. They will receive a prize of £100 and a certificate. The winner will also be eligible to receive up to £400 in expenses to enable them to present their work at an international conference (during 2024 or 2025).
