We would like to congratulate Stefanie Jonas (Institute of Molecular Biology and Biophysics, ETH Zurich) and Roger Geiger (Institute for Research in Biomedicine, USI, Bellinzona) for having been selected as EMBO Young Investigators starting from January 2022! “They have already demonstrated scientific excellence despite only recently launching their own laboratories. The EMBO Young Investigator Programme will aid them in taking their career to the next level. We look forward to supporting them during an important phase of their career.” says Michael N. Hall (EMBO Director ad interim) on the 26 selected Young Investigators in the EMBO Press Release.
