The prize, awarded annually, recognizes pioneering retrovirologists aged 45 to 60.
Heidmann heads a governmental laboratory at University Paris-Sud and Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, France.
In an interview published in the journal Retrovirology, Heidmann discussed the award.
"I'm really honored to receive this prize, which, I hope, will attract more
people to study the field of endogenous retroviruses and mobile retroelements," he said. "These are elements that contribute to evolution, and to mammalian physiology and pathology -- their impact has been long overlooked."
The Jeang Retrovirology Prize recipient is selected by journal's editors based on nominations submitted by the journal's editorial board. The prize consists of $3,000 and a crystal trophy.
