RPSC Berson-Yalow Award

The Berson-Yalow Award celebrates the contributions of Solomon A. Berson, MD, and Rosalyn S. Yalow, PhD (Nobel Laureate 1977), who pioneered the principle of the competitive binding assay and used it to develop the field of radioimmunoassay, which become a mainstay of early nuclear medicine. Since radioimmunoassay is no longer used extensively, this award will continue to recognize outstanding original work in the field of Nuclear Medicine, and recognize the use of competitive receptor-binding assays in vitro and/or in vivo.

Congratulations to the 2023 Berson-Yalow Award Winner - Steven Liang, PhD

Dr. Liang won for the abstract entitled: “Translational Radioligand Development to Visualize Brain Cholesterol Metabolism."
