1st MDC Young Science Transfer Award
We are pleased to announce Ulrich Gohlke and his team as the winner of the "MDC Young Science Transfer Award" for his technology transfer project. The prize is endowed with € 15,000. Dr. Gohlke belongs to the research group of Udo Heinemann and works on the development of substances to treat prostate cancer. He and his team are particularly interested into a family of enzymes called the histone lysine demethylases. A subfamily of these demethylases plays an important role in cancer growth, especially in prostate cancer, the most common form of tumor affecting men in Germany.
