Until 15 January 2013, young researchers working in Europe who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. This highly prestigious prize was first established in 1995. It acknowledges outstanding contributions to biomedical research in Europe based on methods of molecular biology, including novel analytical concepts.

The US scientist, Marlene R. Cohen Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at the University of Pittsburgh has won the 2012 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. Dr. Cohen uses the response of groups of visual neurons to estimate which part of the visual world an animal is paying attention to at any given moment. Her approach provides a new way to study how our mental activity affects what we perceive and how cognitive processes such as attention are controlled.

Until 15th January 2012, young researchers working in Europe who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators which is endowed with 15,000 Euro. This highly reputated prize was first established in 1995. It acknowledges outstanding performance based on methods in molecular biology in the field of biomedical research.

The Portuguese scientist, Tiago Branco M.D., Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College London has won the 2011 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for his research on dendrites. His work shows how dendrites discriminate temporal input sequences and apply different integration rules depending on input location. These findings give insight on how the brain performs the computations that underlie behavior, and suggest that even single neurons can solve complex computational tasks.

As the primary European forum for biotechnology and life science professionals, BIOTECHNICA offers the perfect platform for launching the new BioSpectrometer by Eppendorf to the market. As a further innovation, Eppendorf will be introducing its PiezoXpert® in Hanover, which has been developed for piezo-supported manipulation or microinjection procedures.

Until 15 January 2012, young researchers working in Europe who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. This highly prestigious prize was first established in 1995. It acknowledges outstanding contributions to biomedical research in Europe based on methods of molecular biology, including novel analytical concepts.The winner is selected by an independent expert committee chaired by Kai Simons (Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany).The award winner 2012 will receive

The detection of bacteria that are pathogenic to humans such as E.coli always places particular demands on laboratory processes. Safety is the key factor here. This means the safety of the employees who handle and analyze the samples as well as safe and reliable results. After all, the treatment of patients depends on the results, therefore utmost care must be taken.

This year’s research prize awarded by the Eppendorf AG in Hamburg goes to the Netherlands

The 2011 award is the 16th research prize conferred by the Hamburg life science company to honor outstanding work in biomedical research in Europe. This year, the prize was awarded to Assistant Professor Suzan Rooijakkers, PhD, (University Medical Center Utrecht, Department of Medical Microbiology, Utrecht, The Netherlands).
