Lasker Award Winners of AAI

Since 1946, the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation has recognized outstanding contributions to biomedical science. The Lasker Awards, presented in the categories of  “Basic Medical Research,” “Clinical Medical Research,” “Public Service,” and “Special Achievement in Medical Science,” are widely recognized as the highest honors bestowed upon medical scientists by an American organization.

AAI members' accomplishments have been recognized by the Lasker Foundation since the awards were first presented. In all, 51 AAI members have received Lasker Awards, and at least one AAI member has been recognized in each of the four award categories.
