Bononi received the Hoan Lovells Award in Medicine, Biosciences and Cognitive Science for “Germline BAP1 mutations impair IP3R3-mediated Ca2+ flux to mitochondria and induce a Warburg effect.”<\/p>\n

ISSNAF<\/abbr> awards young Italian researchers each year in five subjects. The winner in each category receives a $3,000 prize.<\/p>\n

The 16 finalists, all Italian researchers younger than\u00a040, were chosen through a rigorous selection process and presented their research projects to a panel of judges. The research projects are in the fields of leukemia; environmental sciences, astrophysics and chemistry; medicine, bioscience and cognitive science; engineering; mathematics and physics.<\/p>\n

ISSNAF<\/abbr>‘s mission is to promote scientific, academic and technological cooperation among Italian researchers and scholars active in North America and the world of research and industry in Italy.<\/p>\n
