Lutz Receives the Robert Koch Foundation Post-doctoral Award in Immunology

The Robert Koch Foundation annually presents three Post-doctoral Awards to recognize exceptional early-career researchers in the fields of hygiene and microbiology, immunology, and virology. The awards are granted in cooperation with the respective German scientific societies, which nominate the candidates, and each award is endowed with €5,000.

The prizes recognize scientific or medical research that makes a fundamental contribution to a better understanding of infectious diseases. Particular emphasis is placed on findings that advance diagnostic or therapeutic approaches or open up new directions for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

By presenting these awards, the Robert Koch Foundation supports the next generation of scientists working in hygiene and microbiology—including parasitology and mycology—as well as immunology and virology.

We warmly congratulate Lutz on this outstanding achievement and well-deserved recognition of his research!
