BioVision Lilly Award to honour scientists from developing countries
Prize will reward research into infectious diseases
The prize will reward three young scientists living and working in a developing country, who have a track record of excellent research in infectious diseases, preferably with an emphasis on tuberculosis, and promise to have a positive impact in the developing world.
Candidates should be under 40 and hold at least a PhD.
Three winners will be selected and invited to attend BioVision 2011 in Lyon, France from 27-29 March.
The winner will receive US$5,000 and the runner-up $2,000, to be used for his or her research. The third prizewinner will receive an invitation to attend BioVision 2011, with travel and hotel costs paid.
