The Gairdner Foundation is supporting a Symposium that highlights the outstanding contributions of four Gairdner Laureates on April 14.

The Gairdner Foundation was established in 1957 with the main goal of recognizing and rewarding international excellence in fundamental research that impacts human health through seven annual awards.

Since 1957, The Gairdner Foundation has distributed 418 awards for outstanding scientific research. Ninety-six Gairdner awardees have gone on to win the prestigious Nobel Prize.
