CASL-CLF Gold Medal Award

The CASL-CLF Gold Medal Award recognizes an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to liver-related research.

Each year, CASL invites its members to provide nominations for the CASL-CLF Gold Medal in recognition of outstanding achievements in research and science in hepatology. The CASL Executive submits its nomination (as selected by the Education Committee) to the CLF Medical Advisory Committee for consideration & approval by the CLF National Board of Directors.

History: The Gold Medal Award (formally the CASL-CLF Gold Medal Award) was established by the Canadian Liver Foundation in 1983 as a lecture sponsorship program. The recipient, a scientist who had made or was making an outstanding contribution to liver research, was invited as a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons’ Annual Conference, and presented with a Gold Medal. Mr. Carl Grant donated the funds to design and produce the first Gold Medal. The first recipient was Dr. Jean-Pierre Benhamou of Paris, France. Today the medal is awarded annually, and the recipient is invited to present a lecture on their career and life in liver research at the Canadian Liver Meeting

Nominations for the 2025 CASL-CLF Gold Medal Award are CLOSED.
