We congratulate Dr. Hang Gander-Bui from our Institute of Tissue Medicine and Pathology on the great recognition of her research with the Dr. Lutz and Dr. Celia Zwillenberg Prize 2024! Dr. Gander-Bui identified a novel disease mechanism in invasive fungal infections by which the body's own immune response enables life-threatening fungal sepsis. Her awarded study further demonstrated in a preclinical model that this mechanism can be targeted therapeutically to reduce the disease severity and improve survival. These findings are of great importance for the development of novel treatment approaches against fungal sepsis, which also is a current focus of her work. The prize for young researchers was awarded at this year's Dies Academicus of the University of Bern.
