Fresenius Award

2025 Award Winner – Kathrin Breuker, University of Innsbruck

Professor Kathrin Breuker is being honoured with 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.
