The Second Magomedov-Shcherbinina Memorial Prize and Lectureship

There will be a reception following the award presentation and lecture in the Green Carpet Lounge of Hutchison Hall.

The Magomedov-Shcherbinina Memorial Prize and Lectureship is presented in loving memory of the Magomedov-Shcherbinina family. Assistant Professor Nabi Magomedov, his wife Natalya Shcherbinina, and their three-year old son, Amir died tragically on February 7, 2006 in a multi-vehicle accident. The memorial fund was established by the Chemistry Department of the University of Rochester and Bausch & Lomb, Inc., with the generous support of friends, family and colleagues. The award presentation will take place annually upon the occasion of the awardee’s lecture at the University of Rochester. With this inaugural prize, we remember the lives and accomplishments of Nabi, Natalya and Amir, bringing to heart and mind their remarkable spirits and envisioning what might have been, but for their untimely and tragic deaths.
