Professor M.R. Jisnuson Svasti Outstanding Protein Scientist of Thailand Award

Concept

Over the last 20 years, protein research in Thailand has developed greatly, leading to the foundation of the Protein Society of Thailand (PST), which was formally registered in 2006. The Professor M.R. Jisnuson Svasti Outstanding Protein Scientist of Thailand Award (MRJS Outstanding PST Award) is proposed to recognize outstanding researchers in protein science, promote protein research, and increase the visibility of the Protein Society of Thailand. This award is being initiated with an Endowment from Emeritus Professor M.R. Jisnuson Svasti, the first President of the Protein Society of Thailand in 2017.
