On 17 November at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, Sir Philip Cohen was made an Honorary Member of the British Biochemical Society together with Nobel Laureate Sidney Brenner and Sir Alec Jeffreys, all of whom received specially engraved silver salvers.
Commenting on the award Sir Philip said "The British Biochemical Society has over 7,000 members and has only awarded honorary membership to 26 people over the past 35 years. Having looked at the list, which includes 10 Nobel Prize winners, it is clearly a tremendous honour to have received this award."
Sir Philip is the only scientist in Scotland to have received Honorary Membership of the British Biochemical Society.
