David M. Sabatini, MD, PhD, Awarded 2020 Prize
Mechthild Esser Nemmers Prize in Medical Science is awarded to a physician-scientist whose body of research exhibits outstanding achievement in medical science as demonstrated by works of lasting significance. This biennial prize of $200,000 is one of the five Nemmers Prizes administered by Northwestern University.
I am so happy to have the outstanding work of my trainees recognized as they collectively deserve this prize far more than I do. I am also humbled because the prize that has been previously given to colleagues I consider scientific heroes.”
The Mechthild Esser Nemmers Prize is awarded every two years by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The prize is made possible by a generous endowment to Northwestern by Erwin and Frederic Esser Nemmers. The Nemmers Prize in Medical Science was founded in honor of their mother, Mechthild Esser Nemmers.
