The Meira and Shaul G. Massry Foundation established the Massry Prize in 1996 to recognize outstanding contributions to the biomedical sciences and the advancement of health. Founded by Shaul Massry, professor emeritus of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, the nonprofit foundation promotes education and research in nephrology, physiology, and related fields. The Massry Prize includes a substantial honorarium and eight of its recipients have gone on to receive the Nobel Prize.
Several days of celebratory events are held as part of the annual Massry Prize Award. The Keck School sponsors a day for the Massry Prize winners on the health sciences campus. Please see the current announcement for information about the Massry Prize winners and the schedule of planned events. |
