Hans-Hench Thesis Prize for Clinical Immunology DGfI Award

The German Society for Immunology e.V. (DGfI) bi-annually awards the

Hans-Hench Thesis Prize for Clinical Immunology

to one of its members. The prize is awarded for the best dissertation on the subject of rheumatology (inflammation, autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies), that was successfully completed in the German-speaking countries during one of the previous two calendar years (as determined by the date of the oral exam). The prize carries a prize money of 2,000 Euro.

The prize is named after Hans Hench, engineer and entrepreneur from Inzlingen. In 1988 he founded the Hans-Hench-Stiftung. The foundation aims to support PhD students, graduate students, medical doctors and therapists working in research and development of rheumatology.

The prize is donated by the foundation ‘Hans-Hench-Stiftung zur Förderung der Rheumatologie, Stiftung des bürgerliches Rechtes, Sitz: 79110 Freiburg/Breisgau‘.
