Previous Lasker Award Winners
The Lasker/Nobel connection
Since 1946, 59 winners of the Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards also were awarded Nobel Prizes. For 10 consecutive years, between 1979 and 1989, the Nobel Prize went to a scientist who had previously received a Lasker Award. All Lasker Awards are for Basic Medical Research, unless noted with a "C" for Clinical Medical Research. All Nobel Prize awards are for Physiology or Medicine, unless otherwise noted. Dual winners are:
