In order to support couples struggling with infertility, the formation of human germ cells must be precisely understood. Biochemist and MBExC member Melina Schuh studies the development of mammalian egg cells and has discovered why errors can occur during egg cell formation. In recognition of this work, the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina is awarding her this year’s Carus Medal. The award will be presented to her at a ceremonial event on 21 May in Schweinfurt.
