Hi, thanks a lot for review! But, there are plenty of wiki pages, that have only their websites as a source and yet they got accepted..e.g. Ernst Schering Prize - Wikipedia or Alexander von Humboldt Professorship? So I don't understand why my sources aren't enough..some of my sources are from Nobel Prize's website, I wonder what source can be better than that?
The Hansen Family Award was launched in 2000 by Prof. Kurt Hansen – former Chairman of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of Bayer AG.
The Bayer Foundation presents the Hansen Family Award with prize money of €75,000 to scientists in German speaking countries for pioneering research in scientific areas related to medical science and medicine, particularly in the following fields:
- Medicinal chemistry
- Human genetics
- Active substance research
- Red biotechnology
- Genetic engineering
- Cell physiology
- Structural biology
- Bioinformatics
The foundation presents the award every second year, alternating with the Otto Bayer Award.
