Science

The Science Prize is open to individuals, research teams or institutions for work most likely to lead to practical non-animal tests which could be accepted by regulators.

We prioritise projects that are most likely to lead to practical non-animal tests which could be accepted by regulators. We think the most promising approaches include:

  • adverse outcome pathways
  • organs on chips, and
  • computational toxicology

Lush Prize is also particularly interested in human-relevant adverse outcome pathways for systemic toxicology or developmental toxicology.

Science Prize funding is £50,000.

Nominations for the 2026 Lush Prize will open on Monday 1st September 2025 and close on Friday 28th November 2025.
