The King Hussein Award for Cancer Research

Established in 2020, the King Hussein Award for Cancer Research promotes and celebrates cancer research efforts across the Arab world. Honoring the memory of His Majesty the late King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan, a firm believer in cancer research, the Award will recognize leading Arab researchers – both established and promising – who are making outstanding contributions to our knowledge of cancer. The King Hussein Award aims to advance much needed cutting-edge research across the region, filling the gaps in our understanding of cancer in the Arab world, focusing on the study of the Arab gene and ultimately empowering life-saving treatment.
