NEW YORK, 11. Februar 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Franziska Michor wurde für ihre Forschung, die Evolutionsbiologie, Mathematik und klinische Forschung vereint für ein besseres Verständnis der Entstehung und Behandlung von Krebs, mit einem Creative Promise Prize in Biomedical Science ausgezeichnet.  Dr. Michor ist Professorin am Dana-Farber Cancer Institute und an der Harvard School of Public Health in Boston (Massachusetts, USA), wo sie ein vom National Cancer Institute gefördertes naturwissenschaftliches Onkologiezentrum leitet, das naturwissenschaftlich gestützte Forschung zu hartnäckigen Herausforderungen bei der Krebsbiologie betreibt.  Ihre mathematischen Modelle haben die Entwicklungsdynamik von Krebszellen auf ausgeklügelte Art und Weise enträtselt.  Über einen quantitativen Ansatz hat Dr. Michor ein genaues Verständnis der zellulären Grundlagen der Arzneimittelresistenz geliefert, die man bei Krebspatienten sieht, die mit dem Krebsmedikament Gleevec behandelt werden.  Darüber hinaus hat sie neuartige medikamentöse Krebstherapieschemas entwickelt, die sich positiv auf die Überlebenschance der Patienten auswirken können, indem die Dosis und das Timing der Abgabe von Krebsmedikamenten variiert werden.  Derzeit laufen die frühen Phasen klinischer Studien, um die logistische Durchführbarkeit des alternativen medikamentösen Therapieschemas bei nicht-kleinzelligem Lungenkarzinom zu testen und einen alternativen Strahlentherapieplan für eine Art von Hirntumor zu entwickeln, die als proneurales Glioblastom bezeichnet wird.  Franziska Michor wurde in Wien (Österreich) geboren.

Informationen zur Vilcek Foundation:

Die Vilcek Foundation wurde im Jahr 2000 von Jan und Marica Vilcek ins Leben gerufen, Einwanderer aus der Tschechoslowakei.  Die Stiftung will auf die Beiträge von fremdstämmigen Wissenschaftlern und Künstlern in den USA aufmerksam machen und geht auf die Karriere des Paares in der Biomedizin bzw. Kunstgeschichte, auf seine persönliche Erfahrung und die Anerkennung der Chancen zurück, die man als Neuankömmling in dem Land bekam.  Die Stiftung vergibt jedes Jahr Preise an Biomediziner und Künstler und fördert Kulturprogramme wie das internationale Filmfestival von Hawaii.  Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Vilcek.org.

Informationen zu den Vilcek-Preisen:

Die Vilcek Foundation ist der Meinung, dass der Beitrag von Einwanderern bei der Förderung von Kunst, Wissenschaft und Kultur in Amerika von unschätzbarem Wert ist. Die Preise der Vilcek Foundation, die seit nunmehr zehn Jahren vergeben werden, ehren und rücken Personen ins Rampenlicht, deren Errungenschaften diese Haltung verkörpern. Mit dem Vilcek Prize in Biomedical Science wird ein Forscher ausgezeichnet, der auf seinem Gebiet nachweislich einen großen Beitrag geleistet hat. Der Sieger erhält ein Preisgeld von 100.000 $ in bar zur freien Verfügung und eine einzigartige Trophäe, die vom österreichstämmigen Designer Stefan Sagmeister entworfen wurde. Die Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promises in Biomedical Science, die vor sieben Jahren ins Leben gerufen wurden, zeichnen junge zugewanderte Wissenschaftler aus, die in den frühen Phasen ihrer Karriere herausragende Leistungen erbracht haben. Jeder Gewinner erhält ein Preisgeld von 50.000 $ in bar zur freien Verfügung und ein Zertifikat, das von Stefan Sagmeister entworfen wurde. Alle Gewinner werden bei einem Festakt in New York City im April 2015 geehrt.
