Ivano Bertini Award
The Ivano Bertini Award recognises a significant achievement in frontier research that utilises an integrative structural biology approach. The Award commemorates Ivano Bertini, who developed powerful new methods in NMR and built up a world class Centre for Magnetic Resonance (CERM) in Florence. CERM was in the first group of major Centres in structural biology to form the core structure of Instruct-ERIC.
The Award of €15,000 is endowed by Bruker BioSpin which, together with Ivano, developed instrumentation to broaden the application of NMR and increase measurement sensitivity.
Applications for the Ivano Bertini Award are open.
