1515 SCIENTIFIC PRIZES AND AWARDS 2014 ERWIN SCHRÖDINGER PRIZE A single molecule can provide hope for millions: Matthias Tschöp, Brian Finan, Kerstin Stemmer (all Helmholtz Zentrum München) and Richard DiMarchi (Indiana University, USA) have combined two hormones formed in the digestive tract into a single molecule. This hormone combination could effec- tively lower blood sugar levels in patients suffering from obesity or type 2 diabetes. For their work the researchers received the 2014 Erwin Schrödinger Prize worth 50,000 euros. g www.helmholtz.de/en/schroedingerprize SCIENTIFIC PRIZES Awards and prizes increase the visibility of the outstanding researchers working at the Helmholtz Association. The examples listed here show the achievements of scientists at different stages of their careers.
