FEBS launched a prestigious new programme in 2021 aimed at supporting highly competitive research in molecular life sciences: the FEBS Excellence Awards. The FEBS Excellence Awards provide €100,000 funding over three years to early-career group leaders working in a FEBS country to purchase laboratory equipment and consumables.
FEBS is pleased to announce here the researchers selected by the FEBS Fellowships Committee to receive a FEBS Excellence Award following the 2022 call. We congratulate the awardees on their selection and wish them success in their next research steps.
