Thomas Juan has just been awarded the Bettencourt Prize for Young Researchers for his work at iBV in the team led by Maximilian Fürthauer. After completing his PhD, he joined the team of Dr. Didier Stainier of the Heart-Lung Research Center at the Max Planck Institute.

The 2019 scientific awards ceremony was held Wednesday, November 20 in the Auditorium André and Liliane Bettencourt of the Institut de France. On this occasion, 14 young researchers in life sciences were rewarded for their work contributing to the progress of scientific knowledge on major health issues.

Founded in 1990, the Bettencourt Prize for Young Researchers is one of the first initiatives of the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation. More than 300 young researchers have been rewarded so far with this award to support them in their early career as post-doctoral researchers working abroad.
