The Frank Fenner Medal
The Frank Fenner Medal is awarded annually for the most outstanding PhD thesis submitted in The John Curtin School of Medical Research at The Australian National University. The award consists of a medal and a monetary prize. The purpose of the Frank Fenner medal is to encourage PhD students in the School to strive for excellence. The Medal is one of the few prizes to reward outstanding achievement at such an early career stage.
