Dedication to excellence
Dr. Paul was an exceptionally gifted and passionate scientist. He revolutionized modern medicine and inspired a new generation of researchers.
In 2004, Johnson & Johnson created the Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research to honor his legacy.
“What’s new?”
An inscription on the back of the award says ”What’s New?” – a nod to Dr. Paul’s daily question; a question that encouraged his colleagues to continuously seek new compounds that might lead to new medicines.
The trophy consists of two parts, each inspired by the life and work of Dr. Paul. The silver medallion fringed in gold and set at the base of the sculpture embodies Dr. Paul in the lab. The silver ball at the back represents scientific inspiration, while the glass wall depicts the unending frontier of science and medicine. At the intersection point, the scientific journey transforms into a fully realized and rounded idea of translational medicine.
