Klaus Grohe Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Klaus Grohe Prize (until 2019 the Klaus Grohe Prize for Medicinal Chemistry ) is a German science award .

The aim of the award was to recognize “highly qualified young people who turn to the demanding interdisciplinary field of medical chemistry / drug research”. Outstanding work by young scientists (doctoral candidates and postdocs) at domestic and foreign (European) research institutions should be honored.

With the renaming in 2020, the prize will be awarded for “outstanding achievements in the field of drug research”, so it is no longer a prize for young talent. The prize is now endowed with 20,000 euros.
