Michael J. Fox Foundation Honors Andres Lozano, MD, PhD, with Bachmann-Strauss Prize for Excellence in Dystonia Research

Nov 13, 2017




About the Prize

"TO BROADEN PUBLIC AWARENESS AND RECOGNIZE KEY SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES IN DYSTONIA"

The Bachmann-Strauss Prize for Excellence in Dystonia Research was established in September 2014 with a leadership commitment from the Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia and Parkinson Foundation (BSDPF). The Prize is awarded annually to a researcher who has made profound contributions to dystonia research. The award is accompanied by an unrestricted research grant of $100,000 to support further research in the awardee's laboratory.
As part of the partnership between BSDPF and The Michael J. Fox Foundation, this major dystonia research prize broadens public awareness and recognizes key scientific discoveries in dystonia.

ELIGIBILITY, SELECTION CRITERIA AND PROCESS

Any researcher who has made significant contributions to the field of dystonia research is eligible to receive the Prize. Preference is given to individuals who have made major discoveries with clear patient relevance. The Prize may honor current cutting-edge research, an individual's past body of work, or both.
The 2017 Prize committee was chaired by Susan Bressman, MD, Mirken Chair and professor of neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and included experts in neuroscience research and Bonnie Strauss, co-founder of the Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia and Parkinson Foundation. Selection process includes:
  • Nominee's complete body of work in the field of dystonia
  • Nominee's leadership contribution to the field of dystonia
  • Nominee's dedication to patient-relevant science
In November 2017, Andres Lozano, MD, PhD, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, was named recipient of the third annual Bachmann-Strauss Prize for Excellence in Dystonia Research for his pioneering work in deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat dystonia.
