Özgün Göcke receivs Rise up! Award 2024

The Rise up! programme is aimed at outstanding and unusually creative basic researchers from the fields of biology, chemistry and medicine who have accepted a W2 professorship at a German university for the first time. The award is endowed with up to 600,000 euros each. 

The Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation recently awarded ImmunoSensation2 member Prof Özgün Gökce with the Rise up! award 2024. Göcke heads the ‘Systems Neuroscience - Cell Diversity’ working group at the Department of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Gerontopsychiatry at the UKB. The neurobiologist is looking for the key to the mechanisms of brain ageing. To this end, he plans to use new spatial transcriptomics technologies to investigate the basic principles of the nervous system in both healthy and diseased states. His project focuses on investigating how lipids alter and modulate adaptive and innate immune responses in the context of ageing and neurodegeneration.
