Eppendorf and the journal Science are now accepting applications for the 2018 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. This annual international research prize of US$25,000 is awarded to young scientists for their outstanding contributions to neurobiological research based on methods of molecular and cell biology. Researchers who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply by 15 June 2018. The winner and finalists are selected by a committee of independent scientists, chaired by Science’s Senior Editor, Dr Peter Stern.

The 2017 prize was won by the Italian scientist Flavio Donato, PhD from the Kavli Institute of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim for his research on how neural networks mature during development to represent space in the brain.
