Nina Hartramp received the “CEM Emerging Investigator in Protein and Peptide Science Award” from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the “Chemical Biology Lectureship” of the DECHEMA Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, the German Pharmaceutical Society, the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and the German Chemical Society.

Sandra Luber and her co-workers Edward Ditler, Tomáš Zimmermann and Chandan Kumar received the Philip J. Stephens Award 2024. The Philip J. Stephens Award was established in 2014 by the International Steering Committee of the conference series on Vibrational Optical Activity (VOA). In order to distinguish this award from those in more established fields, and to place greater emphasis on encouraging the creative development of VOA as field, the award is presented at each VOA conference to the authors of the paper judged to be most deserving that was published in the two calendar years prior to the conference.
