Rolf Becker Prize for SyNergy Scientists

Prof. Dominik Paquet (SyNergy Member) and Dr. Angelika Dannert from the ISD have received this year’s precious Rolf Becker Prize. Their award-winning publications focus on a three-dimensional model of the human blood-brain barrier developed entirely from induced pluripotent stem cells, and on a human stem cell model for studying tauopathies.

The Faculty of Medicine and the fourndation Rufzeichen Gesundheit! in Baierbrunn award the Rolf Becker Prize for the best original work from the previous or current year in the field of experimental or clinical medicine as a result of a research project conducted at the Faculty of Medicine.
