Paul Schanda receives the Varian Young Investigator Award


The Euromar committee (A European Magnetic Resonance Meeting) awarded the Varian Young Investigator prize to Paul Schanda. This prestigious award was created in honour of Russel Varian, a pioneer in NMR spectroscopy, to recognize a single investigator within the first 12 years of his/her independent career, for achievements in any area of magnetic resonance.

This award recognises Paul Schanda’s methodological developments to characterise the dynamics and structure of proteins in solid and liquid states. Some of the methods developed by his team are widely used to monitor, for example, the kinetic processes of proteins, or to detect transient conformational states.

A few weeks ago, Paul Schanda was also awarded the ICMRBS Founders’ Medal, which recognises the outstanding contributions of young scientists to the development of magnetic resonance in biological systems.

Euromar is a subdivision of Groupement Ampere, that organizes annual meetings on the subject of magnetic resonance, usually in the first week of July. The meetings are held in different locations within Europe, and cover all aspects of magnetic resonance, including NMR, ESR and MRI.
