The Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize
Awarded annually since its inception in 1967, the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize is given to recognize
exceptional accomplishments in biological and biochemical research. The Horwitz Prize is an excellent
predictor of future Nobel Laureates; nearly half of its past recipients have won the Nobel Prize.
The prize was named for the mother of Columbia benefactor S. Gross Horwitz, who was the daughter of
former American Medical Association president Dr. Samuel David Gross.
