ASI AbbVie New Horizons Research Award

Background

AbbVie is committed to moving science forward to further develop medicines that can change the lives of people living with immune-mediated conditions such as Autoimmunity and Inflammation. 

Within these therapeutic areas, AbbVie has identified gaps in immunology research, particularly in the areas of new biological pathways, druggable targets and biomarkers, leading to paucity of innovation in therapeutics and precision medicine.  

To encourage investment in emerging areas, AbbVie will sponsor a research award that recognises an exceptional Australian or New Zealand Researcher who is leading in future-focused research that has potential to advance scientific exploration in emerging areas. 

Purpose

To support a mid career research Immunologist (10-20 years post-doctoral) with potential to advance research in emerging areas such as new biological pathways, druggable targets and biomarkers, within the fields of Autoimmunity, Inflammation, and other Immune-mediated Diseases (excluding Infectious Diseases).

The key objective of the ASI AbbVie New Horizons Research Award is to invigorate basic, translational or applied research in these areas of strategic importance.
