The DeLuca Prize


We offer our congratulations to the Prizewinners at the Cambridge Symposium who were:

Mara Mirasoli (Dept. of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy)
Development and characterization of a fluorescent whole-cell biosensor with internal response correction using two GFP mutants

Leo Lin (Dept of Biochemistry, McGill University, Montreal, Canada)
Binding of flavin and aldehyde to the active site of bacterial luciferase

Laurence Tisi (Institute of Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, UK)
The basis of the bathochromic shift in the luciferase from Photinus pyralis


 

The DeLuca Prize is aimed specifically to encourage younger researchers.

History of the prize
In 1988, the Marlene DeLuca Prize was initiated by Dr Fritz Berthold at the 5th Symposium in Florence, Italy. The prize is in memory of Marlene DeLuca's many contributions to the science of chemi- and bioluminescence. It has been presented at each biennial symposium since that date.

This year's prize
For this Symposium, the DeLuca Prize was again funded very generously by Berthold Technologies GmbH, Bad-Wildbad, Germany.

Eligibility
The prize was open to all Symposium participants who are aged below 35 years by 5 April 2002.

Criteria
Prizewinners were judged on their abstracts and presentations (poster or lecture).

How the prize was judged
The prize winners were judged by a Committee from the International Society for Bioluminescence & Chemiluminescence (ISBC) and chaired by Professor Aldo Roda (ISBC President). The winners were announced at the Symposium Gala Dinner.
