Description
The Bert and Natalie Vallee Award in Biomedical Science is presented by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) to an established scientist for outstanding accomplishments in basic biomedical research. Established in 2012 by The Vallee Foundation, formerly known as the Bert and N. Kuggie Vallee Foundation, it recognizes international achievements in the sciences basic to medicine.
The award recognizes scientific accomplishment rather than supporting a specified research project. Its focus is basic biomedical science, and the recipient presents their work through a lecture at the ASBMB annual meeting. Alongside the monetary award and plaque, the recipient receives travel expenses to attend that meeting.
