DANA LIM THE PRICE
2020
The fight against corona requires research from the top shelf, and this year’s Dana Lim Prize of 500,000 was therefore awarded half a year ahead of time to a corona research project led by senior physician Prof. Thomas Benfield from Amager Hvidovre Hospital. The project includes trials with two different drugs to mitigate the course of the disease and prevent hospitalization in those infected with COVID-19 at risk of developing serious disease courses.

This year, the award went to not just one, but two different research projects. The first prize, which included an amount of DKK 450,000, went to research into the prevention of blood clots and heart fibrillation after heart surgery by senior physician Helena Domínguez and her research project, LAACS-2.
The second prize had DKK 200,000 in dowry and went to a PhD study focusing on how to more easily and quickly investigate patients with stable chest pain with Louise Hougesen Bjerking at the end of the table.
