Sandra Wissmüller recently attended the 6th Discovery Science and Biotechnology Meeting in Brisbane, where she was awarded an Early Career Researcher poster prize for her poster: Specific Interactions of Sox Proteins with many Transcription Factors. The work described there was part of her PhD thesis in her former lab in Germany and was published last year. The sponsors give half of the money directly to the winners and use the other half to pay the registration fee for any other conference the winner chooses to attend.
