The Jacobaeus Prize
The Jacobaeus Prize, (also known as the "Jacobæus Prize") is regarded as a prestigious recognition within the field of medical research.[1] It is an annual award given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of medical science, particularly in the areas of physiology or endocrinology.
Background
[edit]Named after Hans Christian Jacobæus, a pioneering Swedish physician and researcher known for his contributions to the development of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy, the prize aims to honor those who continue to push the boundaries of medical research.
The prize was established to commemorate the legacy of Hans Christian Jacobæus,[2] whose innovative work in the early 20th century laid the groundwork for minimally invasive surgery techniques. The award is sponsored by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.[3]
