AlphaFold developers and eye scan inventors among Lasker Award winners for 2023
The prestigious Lasker Awards for biomedical research are sometimes referred to as “America’s Nobel,” and with good reason — about a fourth of Lasker laureates have gone on to receive the Swedish award, too.
The winners of the 2023 awards, announced on Thursday in New York, distinguished themselves in AI-enabled protein modeling, groundbreaking eye test technology, and in a wide-ranging career in medical science that combined innovative discoveries with attention to mentorship and leadership.
