LEO Foundation Awards

The LEO Foundation Awards recognize outstanding young scientists from around the world whose work represents an extraordinary contribution to skin research and has the potential to pave the way for new and improved treatments for skin diseases. The award was born out of the aim of advancing the understanding and treatment of skin diseases and strengthening the pipeline of excellent dermatology researchers. It recognizes promising young talents and hopefully provides a boost to their future careers. Three awards are made each year, one in each of the regions: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and Asia-Pacific. Each award is worth USD 100,000. Since the first LEO Foundation Award in 2008, around 40 scientists have received the award. The award is well aligned with the Foundation's goal of continually promoting and advancing skin research.
