Barbara Treutlein receives renowned Friedrich Miescher Award
Barbara Treutlein, Head of the Quantitative Developmental Biology Lab, will be awarded the Friedrich Miescher Award 2023. The prize is Switzerland’s highest distinction for scientists under 40 working in the field of biochemistry.
This year, the Life Sciences Society LS2 honours the single-molecule biophysicist and single-cell genomics expert for her outstanding achievements in biochemistry. Barbara’s group uses and develops single-cell genomics approaches in combination with stem cell-based 2- and 3-dimensional culture systems to study human organogenesis.
“Such a great honour! I want to thank all my lab members, past and present, for their dedication and for the exciting & fun environment they create! You are an amazing team!!”Barbara Treutlein, Quantitative Developmental Biology Lab at D-BSSE, on Twitter
Her most recent work focuses on human brain development (see ETH News, 7.10.2022) and the regeneration of brain tissue after injury in axolotl salamanders (see D-BSSE News, 01.09.2022).
