Prof. Kurreck and Dr. Berg were honoured for their efforts to optimize the modern 3D-bioprinting process in such a way that it gets along completely without animal components.
Dr. Rothbauer works at the Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry headed by Prof. Peter Ertl. He received the award for a human-based cell culture model of the human synovium, including synovial fluid, which he uses for an investigation of the rheumatoid arthritis.
The prize is endowed with 20,000 Euros and was awarded on 14 September in Frankfurt am Main.
