Greifswald, Deutschland - In a solemn framework, Dr. Florian winner, doctor from Greifswald, awarded Rosanna Gusmano Award for Young Investigators in Basic Science . This award was awarded to him during the Congress of the European Renal Association (ERA), which is considered the largest European meeting for kidney research. Due to his significant work to improve the pathological diagnosis of kidney biopsies over the past ten years, winning players have prevailed against more than 2000 applicants and is one of the top 7 submissions.
