Congratulations to our investigator Associate Professor Debbie Hay, from the University of Auckland, on winning the 2013 New Zealand Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NZSBMB) prize.
Debbie, a senior lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences, is a molecular pharmacologist whose main area of research is peptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a major class of cell surface proteins targeted by many drugs.
The NZSBMB award is made on the basis of work published in the three preceding years. It consists of a $1,000 cash prize, registration and travel costs for attending the annual NZSBMB conference (QMB in 2013), and a $2,000 travel grant to attend a conference of the winner's choosing.
