The 2026 Klaus Grohe Prize will be awarded to Professor Dr Edward Tate, Imperial College London, United Kingdom, and Professor Dr Nicolas Winssinger, University of Geneva, Switzerland.

For the first time, two awardee will share the award, and for the first time, it will be endowed with €75,000 – making the Klaus Grohe Prize one of the most prestigious prizes for medicinal chemistry in Europe.

It is awarded by the Klaus Grohe Foundation, which is affiliated with the German Chemical Society (GDCh). The award ceremony will take place on September 6, 2026, during the EFMC Medicinal Chemistry 2026 Conference in Basel, Switzerland.

At the same event, on September 9, 2026, the 2026 Klaus Grohe Young Scientist Award will be presented to Dr Sebastian Pomplun, Leiden University, Netherlands.

Prof. Yimon Aye (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) has been selected as awardee of the 2024 Klaus Grohe Prize.

The award was conferred during the opening ceremony of the International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry of the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ISMC 2024), scheduled on September 1 in Roma, Italy. 

The prize winner gave a lecture on "Lightening the Burden: Illuminating Precision Influencers of Innate Electrophile Signaling for Functional Drug Discovery".
