About the Lasker Foundation:

The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation fosters the prevention and treatment of disease and disabilities by honoring excellence in basic and clinical science, by educating the public, and by advocating for support of medical research.

Founded in 1942, the Lasker Foundation presents the prestigious Lasker Awards, which recognize the world's leaders in basic and clinical medical research, and individuals with outstanding public service. For much of the 20th Century, the Lasker Foundation was led by Mary Lasker, who was America's most prominent citizen-activist for public investment in medical research. Mary Lasker is widely credited with prodding the White House and the Congress to greatly expand federal funding for medical research, particularly through the National Institutes of Health.
