The Lefoulon Delalande Foundation awarded its 2023 Scientific Grand Prize to Kari Alitalo from the University of Helsinki and the Wihuri Research Institute in Finland, and to Susan Quaggin from the Feinberg School of Medicine at NorthWestern University in Chicago, USA. The 600,000-euro prize is awarded annually for researchers who significantly contributed to cardiovascular physiology, biology or medicine, and the 2023 edition was equally shared between the two laureates....
