Science Prize Background Papers

In each prize cycle we produce a background paper to assist the Lush Prize Team by identifying key projects that are making major contributions to the field of animal-free toxicology research.

This allows us to be informed of the latest developments in the field.

From these projects, we may choose to invite applications for the Science Prize (if they have not already submitted a nomination and if their project meets our eligibility criteria).
