KNCV Gold Medal awarded to Caroline E. Paul

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨

We are thrilled to announce that Caroline E. Paul, Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology, has been awarded the KNCV Gold Medal 2024, the most prestigious Dutch science prize for a chemist under the age of 40. This award recognizes her groundbreaking contributions and her future potential for even more impactful achievements.

The jury highlighted Caroline Paul’s visionary and highly original #research on expanding the possibilities of #biocatalysis, which not only pushes the boundaries of fundamental science but also holds relevance for #sustainable industrial applications. Her international reputation is evidenced by numerous publications in top-tier scientific journals and prestigious awards, such as the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant,

#ChemistryEuropeFellowship, and the NWO (Dutch Research Council) ENW XL and XS Grants.

In addition to her scientific accomplishments, the jury recognized Caroline E. Paul as an inspiring #teacher and dedicated #mentor, setting up the NextGenBiocat initiative (https://nextgenbiocat.org/) to support early-career researchers.

🚀EPR training

Recently, Deborah Boes got the opportunity to participate in an EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) training. Read below her experience 👇

"To learn more about a specific analysis method that I will be using during my project, last week I got the opportunity to participate in an EPR training school organised as part of a European COST action. In this COST action, scientists who all work on the same research topic, in this case Iron-Sulfur clusters, are brought together to share their knowledge and learn more on the topic together. The EPR training was organised by the research group of Dr. Maxie M. Roessler at Imperial College London. Together with them, we got to learn a lot about different EPR techniques and how to analyse and interpret the data, while at the same time getting to know other scientists who work in the same field. It was a great experience learning so many new techniques and getting to know some great new people!"
