Albert Renold Prize
The Albert Renold Prize recognizes outstanding achievements in the field of pathophysiology and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
The awardee will receive a monetary prize generously sponsored by Lilly and will deliver a Lecture during the EASD Annual Meeting in the year of the award describing the awardee’s most important scientific achievements.20th EASD Albert Renold Prize
Join us in celebrating Prof. Dr. Klaus Kaestner, this year’s Albert Renold Prize recipient, for outstanding achievements in the field of pathophysiology and treatment of diabetes.
Prof. Kaestner will deliver his award lecture on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, 08:30 – 09:30 hrs, at the 62nd EASD Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy.
