This award recognizes especially meritorious research contributions by an individual in a specific area of clinical chemistry. The clinical chemists who have received this award have achieved national and international status for their pioneering efforts in an area of research considered fundamental to the science and have been considered among the world’s foremost experts in that specific discipline.
Alan T. Remaley, MD, PhD, is the section chief of the Lipoprotein Metabolism Laboratory and a senior staff member of the department of laboratory medicine at the National Institutes of Health. He received a B.S. degree in biochemistry and chemistry (1981) and MD, PhD degrees from the University of Pittsburgh (1987). He completed his clinical pathology residency at the University of Pennsylvania (1990). He has published over 500 papers on lipoprotein metabolism and is an inventor on multiple patents. Dr. Remaley has defined key mechanisms for atheroprotection by High-density lipoproteins, such as by cholesterol efflux via the ABCA1 transporter, developed apoA-I mimetic peptides and recombinant lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase as investigational therapies, created the widely used Sampson equation for estimating Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and described the first high-resolution cryo-EM structure of APOB100, the main protein component of Low-density lipoproteins.

Fellows of the Academy use the designation of FADLM. This designation is equivalent to FACB and FAACC, the previous designations used by fellows of the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and AACC Academy. Those groups were rebranded as Academy of Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine in 2023.
