ALBA-Roche Research Prize for Excellence in Neuroscience
The ALBA-Roche Research Prize for Excellence in Neuroscience recognises outstanding work in brain research by mid-career scientists from underrepresented backgrounds, whose work focuses on the nervous system and may improve our understanding of the causal mechanisms of brain diseases.
Awarded through a partnership between the ALBA Network and Roche, this annual prize is being launched in 2024 and will recognise mid-career scientists who have made remarkable contributions in the field of neuroscience and foresee their potential for translation, and belong to an underrepresented group. This prize aims to celebrate the achievements of researchers who have reached a pivotal stage in their career, demonstrating independence, originality and the potential to shape the future of their respective areas of study. The inaugural ALBA-Roche Prize will be presented at the upcoming FENS Forum in Vienna, Austria on 25-29 June 2024.
