The Marcel Benoist Prize is Switzerland's oldest scientific distinction. The prize is awarded once yearly to honor discoveries or studies of special significance to human life. The majority of prizes awarded to date have been conferred on scholars from the discipline of medicine. MNF is thus delighted to boast 14 researchers who have won this prestigious distinction.
