ESP Awards

I am honored to have received the ESP2hD award, which marks a significant milestone in my academic journey, showcasing international recognition of my PhD research. This esteemed recognition validates my dedication to photobiology and presents invaluable networking and collaboration opportunities within the ESP community. As both an ESP member and awardee, I am deeply grateful for the ongoing support and resources that empower me to continue advancing the field of photobiology.

Receiving the ESP²hD award shortly after defending my PhD, gave an important visibility of my research at international level. Thanks to the ESP, my network in the photobiology community expanded significantly which resulted in new collaborations. This international recognition served also to boost my academic career becoming first a postdoctoral fellow at National Institute of Genetics in Japan, followed by a postdoctoral position in European grant implemented at Solar Fuels Lab, University of Warsaw.

Being new to Europe, I was faced with building a new local academic network when I started my research team. The ESP Young Investigator Award gave me the visibility that I needed to build this network. I am thankful for the strong connections that grew from the ESP lecture, the award ceremony, and being a part of the ESP community. I am also deeply thankful for the recognition this award has brought to my team's research early in the building of our lab during my tenure-track years. This recognition continues to motivate our research, inspiring high-risk, high-reward efforts from the even earlier-career researchers on our team.

Receiving the Young Investigator Award was a fantastic opportunity to present my research to this large ESP community. In addition to giving me great visibility within this community I had recently joined, the YIA represented an important milestone in my career, as it sounded like a mark of encouragement to continue my research and a token of recognition from my peers.

The ESP Young Investigator Award was a fantastic recognition of my doctoral research on photodynamic therapy-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cancer. This prize inspired me to pursue various challenges in the field of immunology of cell death in cancer immunotherapy. This was before cancer immunotherapy was recognised as a breakthrough. Subsequently, this fuelled my current independent research in reverse translational immuno-oncology as group leader at KU Leuven, Belgium.
