Professor Peter Kremsner of the University of Tübingen, Germany, and CERMEL (Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné), Gabon, was awarded the 2023 Dr Pascoal Mocumbi Prize

For more than a decade, Peter has played a critical role in establishing CERMEL as a national centre of research excellence in Gabon. Research there has focused primarily on malaria, as well other locally important infectious diseases. From humble beginnings, CERMEL has now contributed to 200 trials and employs 300 staff. It is making vital contributions to capacity building, through training of master’s and PhD students and postdoctoral scientists. Furthermore, it now hosts research professorships at several European institutions but based at CERMEL.

Prof. Kremsner was presented with the Prize at the Forum opening ceremony by Professor Marcel Tanner (EDCTP High Representative for Europe) and Ms Sonia Mocumbi, Dr Mocumbi’s daughter, who shared their memories of an outstanding scientist, profound influence on EDCTP, and father.
