The 2020 Awardee - Katerina Rohlenova

Katerina Rohlenova from the Center for Cancer Biology at the VIB-KU in Leuven, Belgium finished this year at first! It was a tight race indeed, with many outstanding, high-impact publications and the final decision who would be this year´s awardee for the Werner-Risau-Prize was not an easy one. Katerina convinced with her study on "Endothelial metabolic plasticity in pathological angiogenesis" which she could publish in Cell Metabolism (31:862-877, 2020). In this study she employed single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize angiogenic endothelial cells (ECs) in murine choroidal neovascularization and compare the phenotypes to ECs in tumor angiogenesis. Eventually she was able together with her coworkers to identify and validate two metabolic enzymes, labeled SQLE and ALDH18A1, which have a strong impact on endothelial cell proliferation, migration vessel sprouting and EC tip cell competitively. Congratulations!
Application Deadline extendend to July 15, 2020 !!!

Due to the Corona crisis, the usual Fall Conference of the GBM / DGZ that was planned to be held in beautiful Münster this year has been canceled. The Werner-Risau-Prize will nevertheless be awarded, this time within the settings of a special webinar. Details on that will be announced later. Since the number of applications for this prestigious scientific prize has been drizzling in very slowly so far, we have thus decided to extended the deadline for the Werner-Risau-Prize prizes until July 15, 2020. So, hear ye, hear ye, all you adventurous folks: Mark this date and send in your application!
