This award was initiated by Feodor Lynen on the occasion of Fritz Lipmann's 75th birthday and is given every two years by the GBM Advisory Board as a plenary lecture to outstanding scientists during the autumn conference. Marino Zerial will speak in Tübingen on “Self-organization and biomechanical properties of the endosomal membrane.”
