The Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) awarded the Prix Schläfli 2022 to the four most important insights of young researchers at Swiss universities.
Anna-Katharina Pfitzner has been awarded by the Prix Schläfli Biology 2022 for her work at the University of Geneva. Small biological building blocks are her thing: biologist Anna-Katharina has researched a mechanism that is key to many processes in cell biology.
On Wednesday, 15th of February (15:00-15:25, Lecture Hall G60), Anna-Katharina gave the Prix Schläfli 2022 Winner Lecture: Membrane remodelling by dynamic ESCRT-III polymers.
The Award ceremony took place on Friday, 17th of Februar (from 16:40 in Auditorium G45)
Awarded article: Pfitzner, A.K., Mercier, V., Jiang, X., Moser von Filseck, J., Baum, B., Saric, A., Roux, A. (2020). An ESCRT-III polymerization sequence drives membrane deformation and fission. Cell. 182(5):1140-1155.e18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2020.07.021
The LS2 Annual Meeting 2023 will be held together with the Young Scientists' Satellite
