Founders' Medal Recipients 2020

With the postponement of the XXIX ICMRBS conference, now planned for 2022, the recipients will present their Founders’ Medal lectures at the next ICMRBS gathering. In the meantime, both recipients have shared their research with lectures in the Emerging Magnetic Resonance series, available via the ICMRBS YouTube site.

Nicholas Cox, currently a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at the Australian National University, is recognized for his achievement in developing and applying high-field EPR techniques to elucidate water splitting in oxidative photosynthesis and to the study of metal cofactors in metalloenzymes.

Paul Schanda, currently a principal investigator in solid-state NMR at the Institute of Structural Biology in Grenoble, is recognized for his achievement in developing solid-state NMR techniques for studying protein dynamics and applying these techniques to understand membrane protein transporters, chaperones, and enzyme complexes.
