Seven leading scientists in North America, Europe, and Asia who “push the boundaries of medical science” are this year’s winners of Canada’s Gairdner awards, often referred to as the baby Nobels. At least a quarter of the past recipients of the Gairdners have gone on to win Nobel Prizes, according to the CBC. This year’s winners will each receive 100,000 Canadian dollars (about $99,500) at a ceremony in October to honor their work in malaria, epilepsy, cancer, and heart disease.
