Ataman Şendöl, a Zurich-based Turkish molecular biologist, has been named one of three regional winners of "the Young Life Scientist 2010 Prize" awarded jointly by GE Healthcare and the American weekly magazine, Science.
The award has been so presented to a number of well-known scientists over the past 15 years.
Şendöl was awarded the regional prize for Europe for his Ph.D. dissertation on cancer and mechanisms of controlling programmed cell death. He received his award and a cash prize of $5,000 at a recent awards banquet in Stockholm.
Born in Zurich, Şendöl studied medicine at the universities of Zurich and Lausanne. After finishing medical school, he entered the post-graduate program in experimental medicine and biology in Zurich.
He then joined the M.D.-Ph.D. program of the University of Zurich. He conducted his Ph.D. work in the laboratory of Professor Michael Hengartner, where he studied mechanisms of controlling programmed cell death in C. elegans.
Şendöl is currently a post-doctoral fellow and is continuing to work on hypoxia responses in C. elegans and is looking at new targets to treat melanoma.
The GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists aims to support and reward promising young scientists in their research in the field of molecular biology. Since 1995, the prize has been awarded to over 81 winners from around the world.
