The Jacques Miller Medal for Experimental Biomedicine has been established to honour the contributions made to science by Professor Jacques Miller AC FAA FRS that include the discovery of the function of the thymus and the identification, in mammalian species, of the two major subsets of lymphocytes and their functions.

The award will be awarded annually from 2015 for three years and biennially from 2019 and is restricted to candidates who are normally resident in Australia and for research conducted mainly in Australia.

Prize value: No cash award; medal

Eligibility criteria: The award is open to experimental biomedicine researchers eight to fifteen years post PhD in the calendar year of nomination, except in the case of significant interruptions to a research career.

Note the nomination deadlines across the honorific awards have been extended to 25 May (and the referee report deadline to 22 June) to acknowledge the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the wider scientific community.
