This month Daniel Schramek, who recently finished his PhD at IMBA, was awarded not one but  two prizes: He got the Alois Sonnleitner-Preis by the Austrian Academy of Sciences which is open to scientists for achieving outstanding results in biomedical basic research with a special focus on cancer research. The second award was handed over by the Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences and Biotechnology. It supports young scientists who do successful basic research in any topic of molecular life-sciences.

During his PhD in the lab of Josef Penninger Daniel specialized in disease mechanisms in breast- and lung cancer. Apart from the great honor and reward for his work over the last years, the two prizes, together worth almost 7000 Euro, give Daniel a good start for his new Postdoc position in New York.
