The research field for this year’s Prize is "Neurobiology."
This Prize, organised by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), is awarded annually to a biologist selected by the Committee for their overall body of research and consists of a medal and a reward of 10 million yen.
The International Prize for Biology commemorates this year the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa’s reign and his long-standing dedication to biological research. It also honors the emeritus Emperor, who worked for many years to advance the study of the taxonomy of gobiid fish while continuously contributing to the development of this Prize.
The award ceremony will take place in the presence of Their Imperial Highnesses, Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Akishino. In parallel with the ceremony, a commemorative symposium will also be organized, and the Laureate is invited to participate in both events.
