Call for nominations for the Keio medical science prize

Via Ai Lin Chun at Nature Network:
The Keio medical science prize is awarded to researchers in recognition of their achievements in the medical or life sciences. The prize consists of a certificate of merit, a medal and 20 milion yen (approx. US$ 180,000). Nominations for the 2008 prize are now open, with a deadline of 20 March 2008. The winner(s) will be announced in October. A list of previous prize winners can be seen here, and further details about the prize are available here. Last year (2007), the prize was shared by Brian J. Druker for the development of a molecular-targeted therapy for chronic myelogenous leukaemia, and Hiroaki Mitsuya for the development of anti-AIDS drugs.
