Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award
Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award is an esteemed accolade given annually by the Lasker Foundation. The award is named in honor of Albert Lasker and Michael E. DeBakey, two prominent figures in the field of medical research and clinical medicine respectively.
The Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award was established in 1945 by Albert Lasker and his wife Mary Lasker, who were both passionate advocates for medical research. The award is given to those who have made significant contributions to the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of human disease.
The award is internationally recognized as one of the most prestigious honors in the field of medicine. It is often referred to as "America's Nobel" due to the number of recipients who have subsequently been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award is not limited to any specific area of medicine or biology, and recipients have included researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including genetics, neuroscience, cardiology, oncology, and immunology.
The selection process for the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award is rigorous and highly competitive. Nominees are evaluated by a panel of experts in the field, and the final decision is made by the Lasker Foundation's Board of Directors.
The Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award has played a crucial role in advancing the field of medicine. It has not only recognized and rewarded outstanding researchers, but also raised public awareness of the importance of medical research and inspired future generations of scientists.
