The results
The prize has received a great deal of attention since 2013.
In 2013 the winner was Daniel Streicker, from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, UK, for his work on how interactions between human actions and animal ecology can create unforeseen challenges for disease interventions in wildlife.
In 2014, the overall winner was Liron Bar- Peled, for his investigation of how cells respond to oxidative stress, in the laboratory of Professor Benjamin Cravatt at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. Science, SciLifeLab and UP expect the value of the prize and what it represents to continue to grow in the coming years.
In 2015, we received almost 150 submissions from around the world. As you can imagine it is always a tough decision to choose the four winners, and even harder to choose the Grand Prize winner.
