The Jacques Miller Medal for Experimental Biomedicine will recognise research of the highest standing in the field of experimental biomedicine, honouring 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 function.
The first medals will be awarded in 2015 and the closing date for nominations is 24 September 2014.
