We are pleased to announce that Kazu Yamamoto has been awarded the prestigious 2011 ENC Ritchey Travel Award, which he will receive at the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference in April of this year.
Kazu received this award for developing an innovative approach to increase the sensitivity of NMR measurements of membrane proteins. This NMR (ENC) conference award is given to only one graduate student who has done the most outstanding research.
The ENC Ritchey Travel Award is established to honor William M. Ritchey, who is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Macromolecular Science at Case Western Reserve University. William Ritchey founded the ENC in 1960. The award is fully funded with contributions from Professor Ritchey’s former students. The areas of the Award are to reflect Prof. Ritchey’s broad interests in the development and application of NMR to chemical and material sciences. The Award is open to graduate students who are within the final year of a PhD program. The research and abstract of the applicants should show work with significant involvement in the development and applications of advanced NMR techniques or methods.
Congratulations, Kazu!
