For The Press Overview

The Lasker Awards make headlines each September when new winners are announced. But award recipients are in the news every day—and they play an important role in helping journalists report on biomedical science.

In addition to spotlighting the research of its awardees, the Lasker Foundation promotes media coverage of basic science, health, and economic and ethical issues in biomedical research by providing the media with sources for news commentary, photos, films, and background material.
