Paper of the Year Award 2020

The presentation of the “HIH Paper of the Year” award 2020, which honors the best scientific publication of the year 2019 from the HIH, could only take place virtually this year due to the corona pandemic.

Congratulations to Anja Apel and Oliver Preische from the “Cellular Neurology Department” (Prof. Jucker) for their paper “Serum neurofilament dynamics predicts neurodegeneration and clinical progression in presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease", published in Nature Medicine, and to Stefan Hauser from the “Department for Neurodegenerative Diseases” (Prof. Gasser) for his article "mRNA as a Novel Treatment Strategy for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Type 5", published in Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development.

The publications by Apel/Preische and Hauser share first place. So that both publications can receive the prize money of €3,000, the non-profit Hertie Foundation was happy to cover the costs for the second prize money.
