The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) is proud to announce that one of its distinguished members, Prof. Ana Pombo, has been awarded the Leibniz Prize 2024, the most prestigious research award in Germany. This recognition highlights her groundbreaking contributions to the field of genome architecture and regulation.
Prof. Pombo, a leading scientist at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, has made remarkable advancements in understanding how the three-dimensional organization of the genome influences gene expression. Her work is pivotal in deciphering the complex mechanisms that drive cellular functions and disease development.
The Leibniz Prize, awarded by the German Research Foundation (DFG – Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), is widely regarded as one of the highest honors in the scientific community. The award comes with a substantial research grant, enabling recipients to further their pioneering studies.
EurASc extends its warmest congratulations to Prof. Pombo for this well-deserved recognition, reinforcing the Academy’s commitment to supporting outstanding European scientists who contribute to global scientific excellence.
