5TH SCOR YOUNG EUROPEAN RESEARCHER PRIZE REWARDS FINDINGS ON ALZHEIMER’S BIOMARKER
13 février 2018
On February 12, the 5th SCOR Young European Researcher Prize for Research into Alzheimer’s disease was presented to Erik Portelius of Sweden’s Goteborg University, for his findings on a new biomarker that enables earlier detection of the condition.
The SCOR Corporate Foundation for Science is proud to support the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation for the fifth consecutive year through this SCOR Young European Researcher Prize.
Extending and reinforcing a partnership initiated by SCOR in 2008, the SCOR Corporate Foundation for Science teamed up with the research program of the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation in June 2013, signing a sponsorship agreement that committed the SCOR Corporate Foundation for Science to the payment of EUR 1 million over five years. As well as creating an annual award for young European researchers, the agreement notably enables the Research Foundation to continue to observe a cohort of patients as part of a long-term study of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and to promote cooperation with foreign scientists in the field of research into this disease.
