Malcolm Lilly Award

In commemoration of Professor Malcolm Lilly, one of the pioneers of biochemical engineering, the ESBES Board in 2000 decided to introduce an award to be presented to a promising young scientist or engineer working in the field of biochemical engineering during the ESBES symposium: the Malcolm Lilly Award.

This is the 6^th symposium at which the award will be offered to PhD students and postdocs.

The following list shows the candidates which have been selected to present an oral lecture in a special session on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. This prestigious award comes with a 2,000 US Dollar prize. The award ceremony will take place at the closing session of the conference.
