Abstract:
The Young Investigator Award or "Nachwuchspreis der DGPT" (formerly the Fritz Külz Award) is awarded by the German Society for Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für experimentelle und klinische Pharmakologie und Toxikologie e.V./DGPT) to young scientists in recognition of their outstanding work in experimental pharmacology and toxicology. The Young Investigator Award in 2026 was awarded to Dr. Dr. Yohanes Cakrapradipta Wibowo from the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University for his previous PhD research, which was supervised by the late Prof. Dr. Thomas Wieland. In this work, Dr. Wibowo uncovered a new mechanistic insight into angiogenesis and proposed a therapeutic strategy for treating pathological angiogenesis. This article provides an overview of Dr. Wibowo's research.
