Major Award for Dundee Scientist
Professor Roland Wolf, Director of the Biomedical Research Centre at the University of Dundee, has been given the European Scientific Achievement Award from the International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics (ISSX) at their meeting in Nice, France. The ISSX is the major international society dealing with gene-environment interactions, the area bridging the gap between basic research and the pharmaceutical industry. They have recognised Prof Wolf this year for his overall scientific achievement in the field.
"It is of course always nice to get something like this, and it is recognition of the work we have been able to do here in Dundee," said Prof Wolf.
Professor Wolf is recognised as a world-leading researcher into cancer and is Director of the University's Biomedical Research Centre, which employs around 130 researchers in Dundee. The main focus of their research is to understand the pathways that determine the sensitivity of cells to drugs, environmental agents and chemical toxins.
