Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine 2017
The IUCr would like to congratulate the structural biologist Nenad Ban, who is to be awarded the Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine 2017 for his description of the atomic structure of cellular protein production machinery.
In a press release from the Jung Foundation Ban says, “I am delighted and honoured to be receiving the Ernst Jung Prize, on behalf of not only myself but my whole team. This award is also an acknowledgement of the interdisciplinary approach in structural biology that we have built up over many years at ETH in order to study cellular function”. In addition he says, it highlights the importance of fundamental research for understanding medically relevant cellular processes.
The Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine is the Jung Foundation for Science and Research’s medical award which was first awarded in 1976. The prize is currently valued at 300,000 Euros.
Laureates of the Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine rank amongst some of the top representatives in their field.
