On 27 November 2009 MSIF CEO, Peer Baneke, travelled to Stuttgart, Germany, to attend the award ceremony for the Sobek research prize and the European MS Platform (EMSP) board meeting.
This year the Sobek research prize of €100,000 was awarded to Prof Lars Fugger, Professor of Neuroimmunology at the University of Oxford, UK, with a particular focus on humanised animal models in relation to genetic research into MS. The prize was awarded in cooperation with the German MS society, DMSG, and the MS Society in Baden Württemberg, AMSEL.
