Heinrich Draeger Research Award 2010

Dr. med. Dipl. mus. Alexander Schmidt is awarded the Heinrich Draeger Research Award 2010 for an outstanding scientific publication. He receives it for his article "Etiology of musician's dystonia: Familial or environmental?", which was published in the renowned journal "Neurology" (2009; 72:1248-1254). The laudatory speech will be given by Prof. Dr. Christine Klein, Head of the Institute for Neurogenetics.

The Heinrich Draeger Research Award was established in 2004 by the Dräger family and Drägerwerk AG on the initiative of Mrs. Lisa Dräger.
Once a year, the University of Luebeck awards this prize in recognition of a particularly outstanding scientific publication based on results that were primarily generated at the university. The prize is awarded alternately to scientists from the STEM and Medicine faculties.
