The 2021 HFSP Nakasone Award recognises Tony and Cliff for the discovery of a new state of biological matter, namely, liquid-liquid phase separation. Since 2009, the Hyman and Brangwynne labs have observed biomolecular condensation in various cell types and organisms and have helped to determine their functions in physiological and pathological conditions. Congratulations to the […]
and we are happy that Tony got elected as well! Congratulations from the whole lab. The Academy has around 2400 members amd Tony will be one of only 500 international Scientist in the Academy. The National Academy of Sciences was founded in 1863 to “…provide independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to […]
The Swiss based NOMIS foundation “…enables outstanding talent to take on high-risk research”. Now they awarded Tony and the lab $2.5 million in recognition of our “contributions to the advancement of science and human progress”. The money is awarded for the project “Phase Transitions and Biological Condensates: The Molecular Sociology of Cell Organization” and we […]
Tony wins the 19th annual prize together with Clifford Brangwynne of Princeton university and Michael Rosen of the Southwestern University in Texas for their work on defining phase-separated biomolecular condensates. In a statement of the Wiley foundation their work was recognized for… “revealing a new principle for subcellular compartmentalization based on formation of phase-separated biomolecular […]
The award to Tony comes from the German Society for Cell Biology for excellent achievements in research and was established in 1990 by the company Zeiss. Tony will lecture on September 27th in Tübingen during the fall conference of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) and the German Society for Cell Biology […]
Sina and Adam received both each an EMBO postdoc fellowship as well as a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship. This is a great success for both of them but as well for the lab. And yes, of course we celebrated it…
The lab went out together to celebrate Tony’s big award! It was a great evening, and you can see a few photos below.
On behalf of the whole Hyman lab, we want to congratulate Tony on this great honor, which recognizes his achievements and outstanding work in the field of cell biology. You can read the press release on the MPI-CBG website, the text of which is also below. The German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina presents Anthony Hyman, director […]
Our PhD student Ceciel Jegers has just been awarded a Boehringer Ingelheim Fellowship to pursue her PhD studies on multi-enzyme condensates. Read more here. Way to go, Ceciel!
We are so proud of our postdoc Kate Lee, one of three winners in the country of the 2016 Women in Science awards from UNESCO and L’Oreal. Kate’s work linking liquid-to-solid phase transitions in cells to neurodegenerative disease was published in Cell last year. Read the MPI-CBG Press Release on Kate’s award below! Kate Lee is one of […]
