Bernardo de Almeida, a recent PhD graduate from Alexander Stark's lab at the IMP, has been honoured with the Denise P. Barlow Award for his exceptional contributions to the computational modelling and design of enhancers – DNA sequences that are crucial for gene regulation. De Almeida’s doctoral thesis was recognised for its significant impact on our understanding of enhancers’ function, which further sheds light on the fundamental mechanisms of gene expression.
