The Lurie Prize Award Ceremony brings together some of the foremost leaders in the field of biomedical sciences to recognize outstanding achievement by a promising scientist aged 52 or younger. 

The goal of the event’s branding is for it to rise to the level and the prestige of the event itself. Every year, the attendees look forward to the “WOW!”

This year, Zhijian “James” Chen, Ph.D. was honored for discovery of the cGAS enzyme and pathway and their unique role in immune and inflammatory response which are the catalyst for the critical immune response that defends the body against viruses, bacteria and tumors, but they also can inflict autoimmune disease. 

The front and back of the invitation was kept simple with crisp white and ultra-modern holographic foil, but the invitation had a bit of a surprise inside. The top and bottom panels when pulled apart to reveal a stunning and colorful abstract illustration, announcing the name of the winner and information for the event.
