Kabiller Prize in Nanoscience and Nanomedicine
The Kabiller Prize in Nanoscience and Nanomedicine is an award given to an individual researcher in nanoscience and nanomedicine. Awarded biennially, the prize includes a monetary award of $250,000, making it the world's largest monetary award in the field of nanotechnology and its application to medicine and biology. [1] The prize is awarded by Northwestern University and its International Institute for Nanotechnology, and was endowed by David Kabiller.[2][3] It is intended to recognize "individuals who have made a career-long, significant impact in the field of nanotechnology applied to medicine and biology." [4]
It is presented alongside the Kabiller Young Investigator Award, which recognizes "individuals who have made breaking discoveries within the last few years in the same area that have the potential to make a lasting impact." [5]
