Best Paper Award

Exciting science is at the heart of our Department!  To honor new, innovative, and visibly published discoveries, we are awarding the "Best Paper Award" once every semester. Our most recent awardees are:

Rebekka Lambrecht for “Non-canonical BIM-regulated energy metabolism determines drug-induced liver necrosis in Cell Death and Differentiation

Anna-Katharina Ückert for "Identification of the bacterial metabolite aerugine as potential trigger of human dopaminergic neurodegenerationin Environmental International

Nikan Toulany for Uncovering developmental time and tempo using deep learning in Nature Methods

Congratulations!
