Denis Duboule, laureate of the 2011 award of the “Fondation pour Genève”

The “Fondation pour Genève” was founded in 1976 and is a private, non-political and non-religious organisation recognised as of public benefit.

It works, in particular, on the international positioning of the region, welcoming internationals and their spouses, developing initiatives that encourage dialogue and the exchange of ideas and finally managing its humanist funds.

The “Fondation pour Genève” initiates, promotes, coordination and supports initiatives that contribute to Geneva's traditions of hospitality and openness to the world.

By presenting its 2011 Award to Professor Denis Duboule, the Foundation for Geneva – joined by the Geneva authorities and Merck Serono – gives a tribute to this internationally renowned researcher, whose work radiates the University of Geneva and the EPFL in the world (via http://fondationpourgeneve.ch).
