Poster Award at GBS2016
At GBS2016 poster sessions about 120 researchers had presented their innovative projects and results. It is a good tradition of the GBS to nominate the best poster of each topic and to award a prize.
The Posters were evaluated during the guided poster sessions by designated experts in the field of radiation biology. Each assessor had to guided about 10 different posters and each poster was be evaluated by 3 assessors.
Afterwards the grades were calculated and the best poster of each session was determined:
Topic 1, DNA damage and related responses induced by ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
Winner: Prof. Dr. Anna Friedl, München
Title: Cell cycle and dose dependent recruitment of PCNA to Carbon particle irradiation induced DNA double-strand breaks
