Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize
The Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize is awarded every year since 1952 for pioneering research in medical science. The award is endowed with 100,000 euros. Awarded it is traditionally in the Frankfurt St. Paul's Church, in each case on March 14, the birthday of Paul Ehrlich. Named the price is next after the chemist and science historian Ludwig Darmstaedter.
The award recognizes scientists with outstanding performances from home and abroad, in the fields of medicine edited by Paul Ehrlich. These are in particular immunology, cancer research, hematology, microbiology and experimental and clinical chemotherapy.
The prize awarded by the Paul Ehrlich Foundation Prize is one of the most highly endowed and most prestigious international prizes, which are awarded in Germany in the field of medicine. The prize is financed almost half by the German Federal Ministry of Health, the remaining part is financed by corporate donations.
Among the winners were numerous future Nobel Prize winner.
The award of the Paul Ehrlich Prize in 2005, Ian Wilmut was not without controversy, especially since the price of co-financing for half of federal government had argued in the UN General Assembly for a clone ban.
Since 2006, in addition to the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Newcomer Award at most 40 -year-old individuals for outstanding achievements in the field of biomedical research is awarded in Germany.
