Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology
Dear Researcher,
The annual Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology is an international award which honors young scientists for their outstanding contributions to neurobiological research based on methods of molecular and cell biology. The winner and finalists are selected by a committee of independent scientists, chaired by Science's Senior Editor, Dr. Peter Stern. Researchers who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply.
You could be next to win this prize and to receive
> Prize money of US$25,000
> Publication in Science of an essay by the winner about his/her research
> Full support to attend the Prize Ceremony held in conjunction with the
Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in the USA
> An invitation to visit Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany
> Up to three finalists are honored, too!
Application Deadline: June 15, 2016
Congratulations to Shigeki Watanabe on winning the 2015 Eppendorf & Science Prize for his work on synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Dr. Watanabe has developed two novel techniques in electron microscopy that allow visualization of protein and membrane dynamics at synapses at a millisecond temporal resolution. Using these techniques, he has discovered an ultrafast mechanism that removes synaptic vesicle components rapidly from the plasma membrane following exocytosis and further demonstrated that synaptic vesicles are regenerated from endosomes.
It's easy to apply!
