THE 2007 ALFRED TISSIERES YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD
10
23-26 August 2007,
Budapest, Hungary
The recipient of the 2007 Alfred Tissieres Young Investigator Award of the Cell Stress Society International
was Dr. Ellen Nollen. She was the second awardee after A. Vila-Sanjurjo (2005).
Ellen Nollen currently holds a Rosalind Franklin Fellowship at the Department of Genetics, University
Medical <strong>Centre</strong> Groningen, in the Netherlands, where she is studying the molecular basis of Parkinson’s
disease and working on C. elegans models <strong>for</strong> protein-misfolding diseases. The results will aid understanding
of the cellular processes underlying age-related, misfolding diseases and may yield potential drug targets <strong>for</strong>
Parkinson’s disease and other related disorders. She has previously worked in the Dept. of Functional
Genomics, Hubrecht Laboratory, Utrecht, under Prof. Ronald Plasterk, and in the Dept. of Biochemistry,
Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, under Prof. Rick Morimoto. She completed her doctorate thesis
on “Hsp70 chaperone functions in stressed cells” in 2000 under Prof. Harm Kampinga at the University of
Groningen.
