The International Scientific Programme Committee of the Physiological Society choose Prof. Erin Schuman as the recipient of The Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz Prize Lecture for 2013.

The Physiological Society´s Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz Prize Lecture is one of its most prestigious named lectures and it comes with a prize of £1000.

The Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz Prize Lecture was established in 1999.

To emphasize the international impact of their work, the lecture is normally given by a distinguished physiologist working outside the UK or Republic of Ireland.
