Dr Taniya Chakraborty from the Institute of Biochemistry, Goethe University, and Dr Julian Wagner from the Excellence Cluster Cardiopulmonary Institute, Goethe University, as well as Josef Shin, MD PhD, from the University Medical Center Mainz are the three finalists for the 2026 Boehringer Ingelheim Prize, awarded by Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung. Each of them will receive a personal prize of 5,000 EUR for an outstanding scientific publication. On 30th June, the foundation will also announce which of the three wins the main prize – along with flexible research funding of 55,000 EUR for a particularly creative research idea. The Boehringer Ingelheim Prize recognises outstanding scientists conducting basic research in the biological, chemical, or medical sciences in the Rhine-Main region who have already taken their first steps towards an independent research career.
