Prof. Jacob, who is French, earned two doctorates in France, pharmacology and biomedical sciences, before taking up two postdoctoral positions in America and Zurich. Since her stay in Zurich, she has been fascinated by research in the field of the peripheral nervous system, especially Schwann cells. In 2012, she received a research grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Marie Heim V\u00f6gtlin Prize. The IRP Foundation already supported her project on nervous system plasticity in 2014. In October 2019, she will start part-time as a professor in cell neurobiology at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Neurobiologist Prof. G\u00f6tz is honored for her developmental biology research on the reprogramming of glial cells into neurons. She is director of the Institute of Stem Cell Research at Helmholtz Zentrum M\u00fcnchen, as well as chair of the Institute of Physiological Genomics at the Biomedical Center of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t Munich. Prof. G\u00f6tz&#8217;s long-term goal is to develop new treatment options for patients whose diseases are based on damaged nerve cells. She has received numerous awards, including the Federal Cross of Merit with Ribbon and an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>IRP &#8211; International Foundation for Research in Paraplegia<br \/>\nLake road 19,<strong> <\/strong>8002 Zurich<br \/>\nwww.irp.ch<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>HAUSARZT PRAXIS 2018; 13(10): 6<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IRP Schellenberg Research Prize, endowed with CHF 100,000, was awarded in equal parts to Prof. Dr. Claire Jacob, University of Fribourg (Switzerland), and Prof. Dr. Magdalena G\u00f6tz, Helmholtz Zentrum&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":83792,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","cat_1_feature_home_top":false,"cat_2_editor_pick":false,"csco_eyebrow_text":"Outstanding research","footnotes":""},"category":[11363,11500,11460,11548],"tags":[31211,31203,31194,20432,15562],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":["post-337035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-neurology","category-news-en","category-prevention-and-health-care","category-rx-en","tag-irp-en","tag-paraplegia","tag-price","tag-research","tag-switzerland","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-04 19:04:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":{"fr_FR":{"locale":"fr_FR","id":337053,"slug":"le-prix-de-la-recherche-irp-schellenberg-2018-est-decerne-a-deux-chercheurs","post_title":"Le Prix de la recherche IRP Schellenberg 2018 est d\u00e9cern\u00e9 \u00e0 deux chercheurs","href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/fr\/le-prix-de-la-recherche-irp-schellenberg-2018-est-decerne-a-deux-chercheurs\/"},"it_IT":{"locale":"it_IT","id":337109,"slug":"il-premio-per-la-ricerca-irp-schellenberg-2018-va-a-due-ricercatori","post_title":"Il Premio per la ricerca IRP Schellenberg 2018 va a due ricercatori","href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/it\/il-premio-per-la-ricerca-irp-schellenberg-2018-va-a-due-ricercatori\/"},"pt_PT":{"locale":"pt_PT","id":337119,"slug":"o-premio-de-investigacao-irp-schellenberg-2018-vai-para-dois-investigadores","post_title":"O Pr\u00e9mio de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o IRP Schellenberg 2018 vai para dois investigadores","href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/pt-pt\/o-premio-de-investigacao-irp-schellenberg-2018-vai-para-dois-investigadores\/"},"es_ES":{"locale":"es_ES","id":337128,"slug":"el-premio-de-investigacion-irp-schellenberg-2018-recae-en-dos-investigadores","post_title":"El Premio de Investigaci\u00f3n IRP Schellenberg 2018 recae en dos investigadores","href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/es\/el-premio-de-investigacion-irp-schellenberg-2018-recae-en-dos-investigadores\/"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category?post=337035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337035"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=337035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
