This years winner of the Werner-Risau-Prize for outstanding achievements in endothelial cell biology is Dr. Rui Benedito from the Molecular Genetics of Angiogenesis Laboratory in the Cardiovascular Development and Repair Department of the CNIC in Madrid, Spain. Dr. Benedito studied the interplay between Notch and VEGF receptor signaling and found that VEGFR3 is more important as modulator of the crosstalk between DLL4/Notch and VEGF signalling pathways, as opposed to VEGF receptor 2, which has been thought to have a crucial role in this crosstalk.
