Prestigious early-career award for Jonathan Bohlen

This award is in recognition of his research into the molecular basis of rare inherited immune disorders. Each year, the independent nonprofit Aventis Foundation presents the award to up to three outstanding early-career researchers in the life sciences. Each award is endowed with 100,000 euros to help support the researchers as they continue to embark on their scientific careers.
Bohlen leads a research group at LMU’s Gene Center that is also part of the Comprehensive Childhood Research Center at Dr. von Hauner Children’s Hospital. Together with his team, his work spans the interface between molecular biology and the human genetics of immune disorders
