This year’s winners
This year's winners - Due the covid-19 situation, we could not hold our FMI 50th Anniversary Symposium as planned. Instead, we organized a short video conference - for FMI members and our Scientific Advisory Board - to celebrate science virtually. The Award ceremonies for our three annual internal science prizes were at the heart of the meeting. ED FISCHER PRIZE Milou Meeuse (Grosshans group) was awarded the Ed Fischer 2020, which recognizes the best thesis defended in the previous year. This prize is named after Nobel laureate Ed Fischer who was an inaugural member of the FMI Scientific Advisory Board. For her PhD, conducted in the lab of Helge Grosshans, Milou studied the " C. elegans oscillator", over 3,700 genes that are rhythmically expressed during the larval development of the roundworm C. elegans . One of Milou's major achievement was to study the oscillator across different scales - from the system down to the molecular level.
