Recognizing research talent: Max Perutz PhD fellows 2025

The Max Perutz PhD Fellowship celebrates outstanding young scientists at the Perutz tackling fundamental biological questions. This year, Magdalena Otto (Leonard lab) and Daniel Velikov (Matos lab) have been awarded the fellowship for their PhD projects in cell signaling and meiosis. Both Magdalena and Daniel are decoding how cells manage complex molecular processes – under stress and during reproduction.
