German biochemist Dirk Görlich has been awarded the 2022 World Laureates Association Prize (WLA Prize) in Life Science or Medicine on Sunday in east China's Shanghai.
Görlich won the award "for his key discoveries elucidating the mechanism and selectivity of protein transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus," according to the WLA.
The monetary award for the prize is 10 million yuan ($1.39 million).
Born in 1966, Görlich received his PhD from Humboldt University Berlin in 1993. Since then, he worked as a researcher in some top labs in the UK and Germany. He is now a director at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences.
His research helped the widespread understanding of many mechanisms of intracellular transport. The WLA said his group develops nanobodies as cell biological tools and, more recently, also as therapeutics for treating diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, bacterial infections, sepsis and autoimmune conditions.
The WLA Prize is an international science prize established in Shanghai in 2021, initiated by the WLA, and managed by the WLA Foundation. The laureates of the inaugural WLA Prize were officially announced on September 29.
