FMI researcher Marc Bühler wins prestigious Friedrich Miescher Prize. This year's Friedrich Miescher Prize, a nationwide competition for outstanding scientists under 40, is being awarded to the epigeneticist Marc Bühler of the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research. The award recognizes his work on the interaction of RNA with chromatin, and how these processes influence cell fate. The Friedrich Miescher Prize is Switzerland's highest honor for upcoming researchers in the field of biochemistry. Marc Bühler is a Group Leader at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI), which is part of the Novartis Research Foundation, and holds a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Professorship. His 9-strong team is investigating epigenetic processes in fission yeast and man. By focusing on the interplay between RNAs and chromatin, his work combines two cutting-edge research areas.
