The Warren Alpert Foundation Prize

Many of the world's foremost physician-scientists and researchers, working in a variety of disciplines, are nominated by their colleagues for this prestigious honor. Prize recipients are selected by the Foundation's Scientific Advisory Committee, comprising internationally renowned biomedical scientists and chaired by Jeffrey S. Flier, MD, the dean of Harvard Medical School. The goal is to recognize contributions to humanity and breakthroughs in the understanding and curing of major diseases. Winners of the Alpert Prize are presented with a $250,000 award at the Foundation's annual ceremony.
