Willi Studer Award and ETH Medals awarded
Under normal circumstances, the Willi Studer Award and ETH Medal are handed over during the Master graduation ceremony. Since the ceremony was cancelled in 2020, the awardees were invited to the D-BIOL’s Executive Committee to receive the distinction.
The ‘Willi Studer Award’ is awarded every year for the best achievement in every Master programme at ETH Zurich. In the D-BIOL this year's winner is Maria Dimitriu (major in Neurosciences), with the best possible grade in her Master thesis as well as in every single examination. She performed her Master thesis in the lab of Isabelle Mansuy, the title is «Towards a novel approach to multimodal epigenomic profiling”. The D-BIOL congratulates Maria on this truly outstanding result.
In 2020, six master theses were nominated for the ETH medal for an outstanding Master thesis. The two selected students' theses were:
Cathy Marulli (major in Systems Biology) performed her Master thesis under the supervision of Paola Picotti (Institute of Molecular Systems Biology).
Thesis title: ”FLiP-MS: Towards Proteome-Wide Identification of Protein-Protein Binding Interfaces and Quantification of Interface Occupancy”
Gabriel Ulrich (major in Ecology and Evolution) performed his Master thesis under the supervision of Christoph Vorburger (D-USYS).
Thesis title: ”Genetic architecture of parasitoid counteradaptation to symbiont-conferred resistance”
The D-BIOL congratulates the two students on their great success.
