The PharmaEssentia

Innovation Award

In partnership with Tech Tokyo, PharmaEssentia launched the PharmaEssentia Innovation Award to recognize and support early-stage scientific research with the potential to change medicine.

We believe that great science deserves to be found, funded, and brought into the world. Our inaugural program brought together judges from Harvard University and the University of Tokyo to evaluate the next generation of breakthrough science. This is the beginning of a long-term commitment to prizes, scholarships, and research support.
