Summary
The Adrien Albert Award was first presented in 1983 by the Division of Medicinal and Agricultural Chemistry of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Since 1989 it has been presented by the division's successors. The Award recognises sustained, outstanding research in the field of medicinal or agricultural chemistry or chemical biology. Such research must be conducted wholly, or largely, within Australia and New Zealand. Recipients are invited to deliver a lecture at the divisional conference. Albert was foundation Professor of Medical Chemistry at the John Curtin School of Medical Research from 1949 to 1972.
