With this prize, The Lundbeck Foundation seeks to celebrate young scientists who have contributed significantly to the advancement of science resulting in a better understanding, or improvement, of health and biomedical sciences in the broadest sense.
The LF Young Investigator Prize is awarded to a scientist under the age of 40 (rules for leave of absence apply).
The Lundbeck Foundation believes that diversity strengthens science, and it is therefore important that they receive nominations for as many qualified nominees as possible, from all backgrounds.
