About this prize
The Nucleic Acids Group award lecture series was established in 1998 to honour world-renowned scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of the chemistry and/or biochemistry of nucleic acids. Award lectures are usually given annually in conjunction with conferences supported by or associated with the Nucleic Acids Group.
In 2012, the Nucleic Acids Group award was named the Michael J. Gait Lectureship to mark the retirement of Mike Gait from our committee after many years of tireless work for the UK Nucleic Acids community.
The Award lecture series is generously sponsored by Biomodal.
