The purpose of the award is to honor Dr. George Gomori and to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of histochemistry and cytochemistry. It is presented every four years at the Annual Meeting of the Society in the year immediately preceding the meeting of the International Federation of Societies for Histochemistry and Cytochemistry. Next Gomori Award will be presented at the 2023 Histochemical Society meeting. Candidates must be members of The Histochemical Society.
David Glick Lectureship AwardThe International Congress of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, held every four years, is the occasion on which the International Federation of Societies for Histochemistry and Cytochemistry awards the David Glick Lectureship. In addition to delivering the Glick Lecture at the International Congress, the recipient receives a cash award, complimentary registration, and reimbursement of all reasonable travel expenses. This award is given every four years in conjunction with the IFSHC meeting. Click here for more information.
