SFN 2017 Travel Grant Competition

The winning entries have been decided! Find out who won the $1000 prizes.

Congratulations to Hugo Kim and Carmen Lorenz, winners of the Proteintech SFN 2017 Travel Grant Competition.

Both winners  are  awarded  $1000 each  to attend the SFN annual meeting in Washington D.C.

Thank you to all who entered the competition. Check back for more competitions and travel grants on our company news section and social media pages.

Winning abstracts

Jae Mun (Hugo) Kim's abstract:

 ‘Until recently, obtaining information about which genes are turned on at single cells has been difficult, if not impossible. Kim and colleagues at the University of Southern California have developed a technique called PAIA (Patch-aRNA in vitro transcription amplification), which is an improved method to study the genetic transcripts in single cells and which will expand our ability to answer questions about differences in gene expression among individual cells.’

On winning the award, Hugo says: ‘I am so excited to have a great chance to meet awesome neuroscientists from all over the world!’

Carmen Lorenz’s abstract:

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are strongly linked to diseases affecting the nervous system. Lorenz and colleagues at the Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin Germany have generated iPSC-derived NPCs from patients carrying MT-ATP6 mutations. Obtained data suggest that patient-derived NPCs represent an effective model that might help to discover new treatment strategies regarding debilitating mtDNA encephalopathies.

Carmen said: “Neuroscience is so fascinating and I look forward to learn about the latest insights. I am very happy to receive the Proteintech SFN Travel Grant and can’t wait to go to the conference.”
