EUROISMAR 2019

Each of the organizing societies, several journals, and key members of the magnetic resonance community provided Prizes that were awarded during EUROISMAR 2019. The list below are the confirmed Prizes Winners. Congratulations!

ISMAR

ISMAR Prize: awarded for outstanding achievement in the field of magnetic resonance. The ISMAR Prize was sponsored by Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL).
Jane Dyson and Peter Wright (both Scripps Research Institute, USA) are joint recipients of the 2019 ISMAR Prize for their work on intrinsically disordered proteins.

Paul Callaghan Lecture: a lecture in memory of Paul Callaghan, sponsored by Magritek.
Malcolm Levitt (University of Southampton, UK) delivered the 2019 Paul Callaghan Lecture on "adventures with long-lived states".

Anatole Abragam Prize: awarded to candidates within seven years of completing their PhD. Preference will be given to nominees who have made original and independent contributions to experimental or conceptual aspects of magnetic resonance beyond accomplishments attributable to work performed with their research supervisors. The award aims to recognize and foster outstanding young scientists at a typically important point in their career. This prize is sponsored by Bruker.
Michal Leskes (Weizmann Institute of Science, Isarel) delivered the 2019 Anatole Abragam Prize Lecture on endogenous DNP in energy storage materials.

EUROMAR-Ernst Prize: to recognize recent beneficial applications of Magnetic Resonance. The EUROMAR-Ernst Prize was sponsored by Bruker.
Angela Gronenborn (University of Pittsburgh, USA) and Daniella Goldfarb (Weizmann Institute of Science, Isarel) are joint recipients of the 2019 Ernst Prize, for contributions to the development of magnetic resonance methods and applications to molecular biology.

Raymond Andrew Prize: the prize is awarded to young scientists for an outstanding PhD thesis in magnetic resonance. This prize is sponsored by Bruker.
Thach (Cody) Can (previously MIT, now UCSD, USA) delivered the Anatole Abragam Prize Lecture via Skype.

GDCh FGMR

Full conditions for these Prizes are detailed on the GDCh FGMR website.

Felix-Bloch-Lecture: A special award is given to a distinguished scientist in the field of magnetic resonance. Nominees -- preferably young researchers (group leaders) -- should have made a particularly impactful scientific contribution over the course of the last five years.
Franz Hagn (Technical University of Munich, Germany) gave the Felix-Bloch-Lecture during the opening prize lecture session of EUROISMAR 2019 on studying the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins in a native environment.

GDCh-Ernst Awards: honouring the work of young scientists (PhD students), based on a recent paper that was written and published between 1 April 2018 and 1 April 2019.
Awardees for 2019 are:

• Victoria Aladin, Goethe University Frankfurt
  Complex Formation of the Tetracycline‐Binding Aptamer Investigated by Specific Cross‐Relaxation under DNP
• Daniel Friedrich, Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie
  Insight into small molecule binding to the neonatal Fc receptor by X-ray crystallography and 100 kHz magic-angle-spinning NMR
• Bálint Koczor, Technische Universität München, now University of Oxford
  Time evolution of coupled spin systems in a generalized Wigner representation
• Tomas Orlando, Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry
  Dynamic nuclear polarization of 13C in the liquid state over a 10 Tesla field range
