Honoring Scientific Legacy: Frank Misselwitz Memorial Award recognizes two thrombosis researchers
The Frank Misselwitz Memorial Award for Excellence in Thrombosis Research is a one-time distinction established to honor the scientific legacy of Dr. Frank Misselwitz, who passed away in summer 2025. The award recognizes two early- career researchers whose work reflects the translational ambition and curiosity that shaped Dr. Misselwitz’s career. Dr. Sarah Beck is recognized for her research on the molecular mechanisms of platelet activation and their role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and thrombo-inflammation. PD Dr. med. Gerrit M. Grosse, PhD is honored for advancing biomarker research, clinical research, and real-world evidence in thromboembolism and immunothrombosis. Together, their achievements underline the depth and momentum of current fundamental and clinical thrombosis research and its relevance to improving patient outcomes
