The Collip Prize in Biochemistry

The Collip Prize in Biochemistry

The Collip Prize in Biochemistry was established by an anonymous donor. It is named for James Bertram Collip, the Canadian Biochemist whose experimental expertise was key to obtaining pancreatic extracts pure enough for clinical trials on diabetic humans in 1922. Valued at $500, this prize is to be awarded in May or as soon as possible after the end of the Winter semester to a full-time undergraduate student, who obtains the best combined marks in the required third year biochemistry courses, all completed in that academic year. Only students who are declared majors in the Biochemistry program at the conclusion of classes in the Winter semester are eligible for this award.

It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on the Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards, on the recommendation of the Head, Department of Biochemistry.
