Fresenius Award
Professor Kathrin Breuker is being awarded the Fresenius Award for her outstanding achievements in the field of biomolecular mass spectrometry. Her innovative methods make important contributions to understanding complex molecular systems, particularly in the areas of native protein structure, protein folding and unfolding, and the dissociation of proteins and nucleic acids. In addition, she is highly active in scientific committees and promotes international networks that are of great importance to the scientific community.
In memory of Geheimrat Professor Dr. C. Remigius Fresenius, who was one of the first to make a decisive contribution to the advancement of analytical chemistry in Germany through his well-known textbook and the laboratory he founded, together with its associated training institute, the German Chemical Society established the
in 1961 to recognise outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry. The prize comprises a gold commemorative medal bearing the likeness of Remigius Fresenius, created by the sculptor Heinrich Moshage of Düsseldorf, and a monetary award of €7,500.
