Humboldt Professorship for Emmanuelle Charpentier

Emmanuelle Charpentier from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) will be honoured with a Humboldt Professorship. Since December 2012, she contributes to the HZI's work with her research on "Regulation in Infection Biology". Charpentier has previously researched at the Institut Pasteur and at the Rockefeller University.

In the long term, Charpentier is to conduct translation research at Twincore, a centre jointly established by the Hannover Medical School and the HZI, where basic research scientists and medical practitioners closely work together. The Humboldt Professorship aims at making Germany as a site for science more attractive for foreign top-class researchers and, with up to five million Euro, it is Germany's highest endowed research award.
