<p align="center"><b>PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AWARD PRESENTED TO PREDRAG NOVAK, Ph.D.</b></p>
<p>The award presented each year by the Croatian Chemical Society for achievements 
  in the field of physical chemistry was presented to Predrag Novak, Ph.D., who 
  works in PLIVAs Research Institute, at a ceremony held at the Rudjer Boskovic 
  Institute on Tuesday, October 19th. Mr. Novak was awarded for his contribution 
  to the understanding of isotopic effect mechanisms in nuclear magnetic resonance 
  spectres (he studied nuclear screening, spin-spin relations and the relaxation 
  periods of ¶-electronic molecules).</p>
<p>Predrag Novak, Ph.D., was born in Varazdin in 1966. In 1990, he graduated from 
  the Zagreb Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, majoring in chemistry. 
  He received his masters degree in 1993 and his doctoral degree in 1995 from 
  the same University. After working at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Mr. Novak 
  started working at PLIVAs Research Institute, where he is currently Head of 
  the Spectroscopic Laboratory. He is a distinguished member of a group of young 
  scientists who are working on the development of new drugs by applying modern 
  theoretical and experimental methods in their research. He is the author and 
  co-author of 18 eminent scientific papers published in international peer-reviewed 
  journals.</p>
<p>This valuable award presented by the Croatian Chemical Society for achievements 
  in the field of physical chemistry is awarded to exceptionally successful researchers 
  up to 35 years of age. The sponsor of the award is Egon Matijevic, Ph.D., a 
  prominent professor at the Clarkson University (Potsdam NY, SAD). Winners of 
  this award in previous years were Damir Kralj, Ph.D., Suzana Zalac, Ph.D., Srecko 
  Valic, Ph.D., Mladen Vinkovic, Ph.D., and Sanja Sekusak, Ph.D.. </p>
