Omelkova, Michaela (Recipient)
Prize: Prize (including medals and awards)
Description
Michaela Omelkova, PhD student from Daan van Aalten’s lab, for her work on the Care to Share project. The judging panel said, "We were very impressed with the initiative shown by Miska, proposing her own projects which has led to substantial funding. In addition, engaging the primary stakeholders of her research (patients with ND) is extremely valuable not just for the patients but also for Miska's own research, and being able to pivot this project to a digital platform in light of covid restrictions."
