Dr. Heidi Noels and Dr. Yvonne Döring receive the W.H. Hauss Award from the DGAF
19-21 April 2018
Dr. Heidi Noels from the Institute for Molecular Cardiovascular Research at RWTH Aachen University together with Dr. Yvonne Döring from the Institute for Prophylaxis and Epidemiology of Circulatory Diseases at LMU Munich together received the DGAF W.H. Hauss Award 2018 from the German Society for Atherosclerosis Research (DGAF) during the 32nd Annual Meeting of the DGAF in Rauischholzhausen, Germany. They were awarded for their publication "Vascular CXCR4 Limits Atherosclerosis by Maintaining Arterial Integrity: Evidence From Mouse and Human Studies." (Circulation. 2017; 136: 388-403). In this work it could be shown that vascular CXCR4 has an atheroprotective function by maintaining the arterial integrity and preserving the endothelial barrier function. In addition, CXCR4 stabilizes a contractile smooth muscle cell phenotype. Targeted enhancement of these CXCR4-mediated protective functions could open up novel therapeutic options in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
The award was sponsored by a long-standing active member of the DGAF, Prof. Dr. Winfried März.

An electronic lab notebook (eLN) called eLabJournal was established in SFB/TRR219 to replace the traditional pen and paper notekeeping. Notably, the eLN not only replaces all handwritten notes but additionally holds research data linked to the respective experiments. The eLN system allows documentation in a project rather than person-oriented manner, i.e., projects can be developed and documented by multiple scientists working together.
Benefits of using eLabJournal
Centralised experiment data management
-
Choose from a wide range of segments to build detailed experiments
-
Easily find your data with advanced data search
-
Collaborate better with easy sharing and assigned permissions
-
Set event notifications to stay up to date
-
Easily export your files in PDF, HTML, XML, or JSON format
