German Research Award for Ritchie Centre Scientist

Dr Marcel Nold has been awarded the 2011 Georges Köhler Prize for oustanding scientific research by the German Society for Immunology. The award is named after the Nobel Laureate Professor Georges Jean Franz Köhler (1946-1995) who described the principles underlying the generation of monoclonal antibodies.

Together with his wife, Claudia, Marcel's work is focussed on developing novel treatments for premature newborn babies with life-threatening diseases such as necrotising enterocolitis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Research such as this promises to save countless future lives. Well done Marcel and Claudia.

Euan Wallace, Director
