The Lundbeck Foundation awards talent prizes to six young scientists
In reward for their talented, innovative efforts, six young health researchers at Danish universities and hospitals are now being awarded a Lundbeck Foundation prize.
‘The purpose of our Lundbeck Foundation talent prizes is to call attention to brilliant talents in the field of health research and to give them encouragement. The hope is that they’ll inspire both younger scientists and the general public. We’re passionate about conveying the enthusiasm and dedication that drive the vital research of these talented people, and it’s important to us to communicate the crucial impact their research could have on patients and society alike, says Peter Thostrup, Scientific Programme Director for the Lundbeck Foundation talent programmes.
Five of the researchers are under the age of 30 and are being awarded a 2021 Lundbeck Foundation Talent Prize. They each receive DKK 200,000 to help fund their research as well as a personal prize of DKK 100,000.
