by Howard Morris,
Chair, IFCC Awards Committee
As you are aware, the IFCC confers several distinguished awards to scientists and clinicians who work in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine or related disciplines. These triennial awards are the highest honours that our federation can bestow to colleagues worldwide in recognition of their outstanding achievements, to publicize their exceptional research and other contributions that have improved medical and healthcare, and to stimulate and encourage other scientists to accelerate their efforts in advancing clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.
On behalf of IFCC and its Awards Committee, I am pleased to call for nominations for the following eight (8) IFCC distinguished awards for presentation at the IFCC Congress in October 2017, Durban, South Africa.
