Congratulations to Dan Barouch, MD, PhD, one of this year’s recipients of the King Faisal Prize! Barouch, a founding member and steering committee member of the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard, was jointly awarded the 2023 King Faisal Prize for Medicine with vaccinologist Sarah Gilbert, PhD, of the University of Oxford.
The King Faisal Prize was established in 1979 by the King Faisal Foundation, an international philanthropic organization named after the late king Faisal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia. The winners of the five categories — Service to Islam, Islamic Studies, Arabic Language & Literature, Medicine, and Science — are chosen by international selection committees. The King Faisal Prize in Medicine was first awarded in 1982.
