Description
The Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award in Lipid Research is a scientific recognition award offered by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). Established by its Lipid Research Division, it honors outstanding research contributions in the area of lipids by a young investigator, rather than supporting a specified research project. The division’s Awards Committee selects the recipient.
The award includes a cash prize, a plaque, and travel expenses for the recipient to present a lecture at the ASBMB annual meeting. It sits within the division’s broader work to highlight progress in lipid research, increase the field’s visibility, and foster communication among lipid researchers and the wider ASBMB membership.
