This prize was created to honour the memories of Conrad Walker (1973-1997) and Raymond Marshall (1959-1993), two talented young scientists who died tragically while they were students of Medical Biophysics.

The purpose of this prize is to recognize a Medical Biophysics student whose work and achievements are judged to be outstanding and representative of the ideals of the Department. Criteria include: uniqueness and significance of work, academic and publication record, and contribution to student life in the department. Only students in their final year* of their PhD studies will be considered.

The winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize and is expected to give a talk at the Annual Departmental Retreat.

Nominations for this prize should include a strong letter of support from the supervisor (co-signed by all members of the supervisory committee) and a copy of the student’s cv.

*With respect to the final year -- the student should expect to graduate in the same academic year that the prize is awarded
