2007: Dr. Barbara Bohle (A), Medical University of Vienna
For more than ten years Dr. Barbara Bohle has conducted research focused on the T cell of the allergic immune response. Her career has developed from basic studies on the biology of the T cell to the role of the T cell in allergen specific immunotherapy including suggestions for improved forms of specific treatment.
2005: Dr. Omid Akbari (US), Harvard University
Dr. Omid Akbari was honoured for his research into cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of allergic inflammation and representing the immunological basis of allergic asthma.
2004: Dr. Christopher Lynn Kepley (US), Commonwealth university of Virginia
Dr. Christopher Kepley was honoured for his research activities in mechanisms regulating FceRI secretion from mast cells and Basophils.
2003: Erika Ganglberger (A), University of Vienna
Dr. Erika Ganglberger was honoured for her research activities in the development of a novel treatment for type I allergy based on minotype technology.
2002: Miriam Fleur Moffatt (UK), University of Oxford
Dr. Moffatt was honoured for her studies of the genetics of specific allergy focusing on the role of the T-cell receptor genes, the HLA genes and the b-chain gene of the high affinity receptor for IgE.
2001: Eckard Hamelmann (D), Humboldt-University
Dr. Eckard Hamelmann was honoured for his contribution to the use of murine models for the study of allergen-mediated sensitisation, airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.
2000: Mark Larché (UK), Imperial College
Dr. Mark Larché was honoured for his work with the analysis of peptide-based immunotherapy for allergic asthma in man.
