Analytik Jena has honoured Dr Daniel Bäcker and Dr Geoffrey A. Behrens the Analytik Jena Science Award in chemical analysis and molecular biology areas.

Dr Daniel Bäcker was awarded for his analysis of oncologically relevant substances with anti-tumour active metal complexes.

Furthermore, Dr Geoffrey A. Behrens won over the jury with his work on a new method for determining CMV.

Managing Director of Analytik Jena GmbH, Ulrich Krauss, stated: “With our equipment and solutions, we are also partner of the scientific community. We see the fact that we contribute directly to pioneering research as both validation and motivation. The Science Award makes parts of these results visible to us as well as to the general public.”

Project Manager in Product Development, Analytik Jena, Dr. Robert Möller, stated: “Both prize winning works impressively demonstrate ways in which Analytik Jena’s solutions are used for outstanding scientific research and to resolve previously unsolved diagnostic problems. They show new possible applications for existing devices and analysis methods and also give striking examples of the potential of our existing technological solutions. This work builds an impressive bridge between the biochemical and cytological methods and atomic absorption spectrometry.”
