The winner of the 2013 event, Anthony O’Donoghue, was presented with his award at the EBF 6th Open Symposium. Discussing the impact of the Award, Anthony said:

“I am delighted to be chosen as the winner of the 2013 Young Investigator Award. While it is always an accomplishment to publish, it is particularly rewarding to be acknowledged as an individual scientist for the work I have done. I hope this award will strengthen my prospects of obtaining a faculty position at a strong research institute”.

The standard was very high across the board and we would like to thank all the nominees who didn’t make the final 5. You can view their profiles here.
