The L'OREAL-UNESCO For Women in Science Partnership announced the five exceptional women scientists from around the world who received the 2010 L'OREAL-UNESCO Awards in the Life Sciences.
An international network of nearly 1,000 scientists nominates the candidates for each year's awards. The five laureates are then selected at a meeting of the jury presided by Pr. Gunter Blobel, Nobel Prize in Medicine 1999.
Anne Dejean-Assemat is awarded for her contributions to our knowledge of leukaemia and liver cancers. The awards ceremony will take place on March 4th 2010 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Each Laureate receives US $100,000 in recognition of her contribution to the advancement of science.
Since the launch of the partnership, L’Oréal and UNESCO have been actively supporting the cause of women in science. In the context of economic crisis and the fluctuations of modern society, the partners believe that today, more than ever, the world needs science. At the heart of this commitment, L’Oréal and UNESCO are acting to promote women scientists who are devoting their lives, with strength and passion, to finding solutions to tomorrow’s challenges.
