BELLOWS
FALLS, Vt., July 3, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This year, Chroma Technology is happy to
present the Anne Heidenthal Prize for Fluorescence Research award
to Prof. Sabrina Spencer from the
University of Colorado Boulder. This
annual prize is awarded to a young scientist who presents
extraordinary research in the field of fluorescence imaging. Dr.
Spencer was selected by the committee for her work in CDK2
inhibition and rapid cell adaptation when CDK2 is inhibited,
allowing completion of the cell-cycle. This study furthers our
understanding of cancer therapeutics, which often targets CDK2
because it can be hyperactive in many cancers, and how we may need
to change how we go about these therapeutics to effectively inhibit
CDK2 from the cell.
"We trust the committee year after year to
select a scientist worthy of supporting, and we couldn't be happier
with this year's choice," said Georg
Draude, General Manager of the Chroma GmbH branch and
presenter of the Anne Heidenthal Prize. "We look forward to how
Sabrina's work continues."

The Anne Heidenthal Prize for Fluorescence Research was
established in 2014 to honor the memory of Anne Heidenthal (1968-2010). Anne Heidenthal was an accomplished researcher
with a Ph.D. in cardiovascular research who played a very important
role in Chroma's history. Anne
Heidenthal led the opening of Chroma's first international
sales office in Germany in 2006.
In preparation, she spent two years in Vermont working at Chroma's main facility in
Bellows Falls to learn the
business and become deeply knowledgeable about our products and
operations. Her commitment and energy laid the foundation for our
future success.
