On 2 September 2022 Anthony Hyman was awarded the Körber Prize 2022 endowed with one million euros, for his research on cell droplets. Hyman and his team discovered – during studies on single-cell embryos of a roundworm – a completely new state of biological matter: proteins can accumulate locally in high concentrations in the cell fluid. His scientific work can help to understand the causes of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and to develop effective treatment options for these diseases. The prize money will further support these directions of research.
