ABOUT THE AWARD

In memory of the company’s founder Heinrich Emanuel Merck the biennial Award
stands for excellence in analytical chemistry for over two decades. It is open
to researchers who are developing innovative solutions to analytical problems in
the life, material and environmental sciences; areas of science that are
constantly gaining importance in our daily lives.


KEY FACTS

 * Award is presented every two years
 * Eligibility criteria: Researchers who are developing innovative solution in
   domains at the forefront of innovation in computing: artificial intelligence,
   quantum computing, neuro-inspired computing - all with the aim to enable
   scientific discovery
 * Who can apply: Researchers that fit the eligibility criteria. Healthcare
   Professionals are ineligible for this award. 
 * Application documents: Applicants need to fill out an application at our
   application portal (www.researchgrantsandchallenges.com). Documents include a
   recent CV and a description of cutting edge research and results (no older
   than 3 years)
 * Award ceremony: The recipients of the Heinrich Emanuel Merck award are asked
   to present their research at an award ceremony. 
 * The award comes with a 15,000 EUR prize. 


APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

2022 LAUREATE

VALÉRIE GABELICA

In 2022, Dr. Valérie Gabelica is honored with the Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award
for Analytical Science for her outstanding work on advancing mass spectrometry
to study nucleic acid structures and interactions. Her work allows measurement
of chirality directly within the mass spectrometer and could enable a wide range
of new applications. Valérie Gabelica is a research director at Institut
National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM) and the director of
the Institut Européen de Chimie et Biologie (IECB) in France.


2019 LAUREATE

DAVID ALSTEENS

In 2019, Prof. David Alsteens at UC Louvain, Belgium is honored with the
Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award for Analytical Science. He has developed a
technique to measure ligand-receptor interactions on cell surfaces in native
conditions while recording high-resolution images of cellular membranes. David
Alsteens is research associate at the Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS) and
full professor at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering at Université catholique
de Louvain (UC Louvain).


2017 LAUREATE

FRANCESCO RICCI

In 2017 Prof. Francesco Ricci from the University of Rome, Italy received the
Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award for Analytical Science for his groundbreaking
development of DNA-based sensors. Prof. Ricci developed new strategies for the
development of sensors for various diagnostic applications. The principal
functions of the sensors are based on the same mechanisms that nature uses for
biomolecular receptors. The analytical sensors are able to detect a wide range
of antibodies, proteins and further analytes, which are relevant in medicinal
research.
