INTERNATIONAL AWARD
1990 HERMES VITAMIN RESEARCH PRIZE, sponsored by HERMES GMBH Pharmaceuticals,
Munich, Germany. For:
"Investigation of the Prevention and Regression of Primate
Atherosclerosis by d-Alpha-Tocopherol."
This prize is awarded every two years for the "most important
work in the field of Vitamins and Disease." The award was
received in Munich on October 26, 1990 and consisted of a plaque and 10,000
DM. The paper was selected by a panel of
world recognized scientists in the field. Other submissions included papers
from the USSR, Canada, France,Great Britain,
USA, New Zealand, Australia, and Germany.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
