Claudio Collinet and Jesse Lipp of the MPI-CBG were awarded the Otto Hahn Medal for young researchers in the Max Planck Society. Claudio, who did his PhD in Marino Zerial's lab, received the award for his work on the systems analysis of endocytosis and Jesse (PhD in Wolfgang Zachariae's group) for his work on the mechanisms of chromosome segregation during meiosis.

The award will be presented during the meeting of the Bio-Medical Section of the Max Planck Society in Berlin on 8 June 2011.

Congratulations from all of us and all the best for Claudio's and Jesse's future!
