Ralf Barten­schlager is awarded the Ernst-Jung Prize for Medicine by the Jung Foundation

Since 1976, the Jung Founda­tion for Science and Research awards the Ernst-Jung Prize for Medicine, endowed with 300.000 euros. It honors researchers and their projects that have made a signif­i­cant contri­bu­tion in the field of human medicine and can be expected to do so in future.

This year's award winner is Hector Fellow Ralf Barten­schlager. He shares the prize with Profes­sor Dr. Ingrid Fleming, Center for Molec­u­lar Medicine at Goethe Univer­sity Frankfurt.

The award ceremony took place during the Jung Sympo­sium on May 13 in Hamburg. During the sympo­sium, the two award winners gave presen­ta­tions on their research results. In addition, the two researchers Dr. Anasta­sios Giannou and Profes­sor Alain Fischer reported on their research.

Congrat­u­la­tions to Ralf Bartenschlager!
