Geoffrey Burnstock Prize

About the award

Winners will receive £1,000 and be offered the opportunity to give a lecture at a Society meeting.
 
The prize recognises the achievements of established researchers and has been awarded by the Society since 1972. Known as the Sandoz Prize until 1997, and the Novartis Prize until 2019, it has been renamed in honour of Professor Geoffrey Burnstock, who passed away in 2020. Prof Burnstock is known for inventing the concept of purinergic transmission and remains one of the most cited pharmacologists in the world. His proudest achievement was mentoring students and colleagues, and nurturing the careers of so many of his department, helping their pathway to professorship.
