Two young researchers affiliated with the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University are among the winners of the prestigious 2026 Albert Schweitzer Prize for Medicine, which is awarded annually by the French Embassy in the Czech Republic for the best research work by young physicians and doctoral students. The awards ceremony took place on 26 June at the French Embassy in Prague and was attended by Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn, winner of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

First place in the competition went to MUDr. Štěpán-Ota Schütz of the Department of Surgery at the Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and the Central Military Hospital in Prague, who is enrolled in the Experimental Surgery programme. He received the award for his research focused on multimodal perioperative monitoring for the early prediction and prevention of postoperative pancreatic fistulas following pancreatic resections.

Among the award recipients, MUDr. Alžběta Šantová, a doctoral student in the Nutritional and Metabolic Sciences programme at the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, took second place. Her research is closely linked to the Second Faculty of Medicine, as her advisors are Prof. Zdeněk Šumník and Assoc. Prof. Vít Neuman, who are affiliated with the Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University.

The success of both laureates confirms the high standard of scientific work among young researchers and, at the same time, underscores the prominent position of the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University in the field of biomedical research and the training of a new generation of clinical scientists.
