Prof Dek Woolfson, Director of the Bristol BioDesign Institute, has been named as one of the two recipients of the 2025 Vincent du Vigneaud Award. These prestigious awards, given by the American Peptide Society (and sponsored by Bachem), recognize outstanding achievements in peptide research at mid-career.
Dek has been honoured alongside Prof Ashraf Brik (Technion-Israel Institute of Technology). The awards will be presented at the 29th American Peptide Symposium and 15th International Peptide Symposium in California (15-19 June 2025).
Vincent du Vigneaud was an American biochemist known for his work with sulfur compounds and peptides. He won the 1955 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the cyclic peptide, oxytocin.
