Be our guest when Dr. Clemens Plaschka receives the 2024 prize and presents his groundbreaking work.

The independent jury, chaired by Prof. Laura Machesky, selected Clemens' research on the molecular machines that produce and export messenger RNA for the €20,000 prize. The prize recognizes his groundbreaking discoveries that uncover the mechanisms of messenger RNA production and maturation. Several complex cellular machines are involved in mRNA production, which process and control the maturation and eventual export of mRNA from the cell nucleus into the cytoplasm. Plaschka's structural and mechanistic studies have provided fundamental insights into how cells express genes, and his work has implications for human diseases associated with mutations in key mRNA processing machinery.
