The Jacob and Louise Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine or Gabbay Award is an annual prize established in 1998 by the Jacob and Louise Gabbay Foundation to recognize outstanding work in the biomedical sciences. The award is administered by the Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts and is worth $15,000. The winner also receives a medal and delivers a lecture on his or her work. [1]
The award was created to recognise scientists in academia, medicine or industry as early as possible in their careers whose work had outstanding scientific content and significant practical consequences in the biomedical sciences. Previously known as the Jacob Heskel Gabbay Award, it was renamed in 2016 in honor of Jacob's wife, Louise Gabbay, who was instrumental in founding the award.
