The Lundbeck Foundation honours six young research talents
Six young health science researchers at Danish universities and hospitals are this year receiving the Lundbeck Foundation’s prizes – five Talent Prizes and one Young Investigator Prize.
The prizes are awarded in recognition of outstanding contributions to health science research.
“We wish to celebrate these promising researchers for their important contributions to expanding our understanding of diseases and for paving the way towards the development of new and improved treatments. Their impressive work demonstrates how curiosity and perseverance can lead to new insights – and, in time, benefit patients and society as a whole. We also hope that they will inspire other young people to pursue a career in research,” says Peter Thostrup, Scientific Programme Director at the Lundbeck Foundation.
The Lundbeck Foundation’s Young Investigator Prize 2025 amounts to DKK 1 million, of which DKK 700,000 is earmarked for research, while the remainder is a personal award. The prize is awarded to researchers under the age of 40.
Five researchers under the age of 30 each receive a Lundbeck Foundation Talent Prize consisting of DKK 200,000 for research and DKK 100,000 as a personal award.
