Heinrich Draeger Research Award 2012

Dr. med. Dirk Andreas Christian Ridder receives the Heinrich Draeger Science Award 2012 for his publication "TAK1 in brain endothelial cells mediates fever and lethargy". The laudatory speech was given by Prof. Dr. Markus Schwaninger, Director of the Institute for Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University.

The Heinrich Dräger 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.
