JUNG CAREER ADVANCEMENT AWARD FOR DR MAXIMILIAN U. FRIEDRICH
Dr. Friedrich impressed our Scientific Advisory Board with his project, "Brain in Balance: Translational Neuroanatomy and Connectome-Based Network Analysis of the Vestibular System." His research aims to enhance understanding of brain networks in the vestibular system, potentially leading to new therapies for neurological diseases like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. He received the Jung Career Advancement Award and 210,000 euros in funding for advancing his research. You can fin a portrait of our laureate here. |

JUNG GOLD MEDAL FOR MEDICINE FOR PROFESSOR RUDOLF ZECHNER
With the Jung Gold Medal for Medicine, we honour a lifetime achievemtn. This year, the award was presented to Professor Rudolf Zechner, who has made a significant contribution to the study of lipid metabolism. He has not only fundamentally changed biochemistry and physiology textbooks, but also demonstrated promising strategies for treating metabolic disorders. In particular, his discovery and exploration of the adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) enzyme and its essential co-activator CGI-58 provided insight into the development and possible treatment of long-standing lipid storage diseases. The prize is accompanied by a scholarship totalling 30,000 euros, which Professor Zechner can award to a junior scientist of his choice. You can find a portrait of our laureate here. |
