(pug) Dr. Francesca Fabbiani, chemist at the University of Göttingen, has received the Max von Laue Award of the German Crystallographic Society (DGK). With the award, the DGK honors Dr. Fabbiani’s contribution to the field of high-pressure crystallography on pharmaceuticals. Since 1996, the annual award has been recognising the outstanding work of early-career scientists in any branch of crystallography.

Francesca Fabbiani, born 1980, studied at the University of Edinburgh, where she also received her Ph.D. in 2006. After postdoctoral research at the University of Western Australia in Perth and at the ISIS neutron facility near Oxford she relocated to Göttingen University with a research grant by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. From 2009 until 2011, she was one of the university’s Dorothea Schlözer Research Fellows. Since 2011, she has been leading a junior research group in the Department of Crystallography at the Faculty of Geosciences and Geography, with funding from the Emmy Noether Program of the German Science Foundation.
