At the presentation of the Lush Prize 2014 on November 14th in London, two German finalists could look forward to receiving an award. Including: the Munich scientist Anne Krug.

With a total prize money of almost 300, 000 euros, the Lush Prize is considered the world's most highly endowed prize against animal experiments . Last Friday, the award was awarded for the third time in five different categories. Each prize includes a grant.

Among the winners were two German finalists this year. Munich's Anne Krug won the Lush Prize 2014 in the category 'Best Young Researcher'. Representing the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT), the German Dr. Ing. Thomas Hartung and dr. Francois Busquet also receives an award in the field of 'lobbying'.

While the scientist Anne Krug deals directly with the research on alternative test methods for animal experiments, the CAAT advocates that authorities, industry representatives and scientists come together at a table and enter into dialogue with each other. With its prize money of 18, 000, the CAAT wants to successfully promote the fight against animal testing.

The 30-year-old junior researcher from Munich will invest 12, 500 euros in the subsidy associated with the Lush Prize 2014 for the development of a technology that will facilitate research as well as the documentation of test results in the future.

For those who would like to achieve something similar to Anne Krug, the young scientist has a tip: "You do not necessarily have to do a doctorate in order to make a difference in this area .You can also achieve a lot outside of the lab. to listen in and find out what you really are good at, the idea that you have to be super successful right away will not get you anywhere.
