Milupa Science Award for Scientists of TWINCORE

Eike Steinmann and Stephanie Pfänder of the Institute for Experimental Virology of TWINCORE recently received the 10,000 Euro "Nutricia Science Award". The milupa award annually honors innovative works that contribute to the knowledge of breastfeeding.

Die beiden Wissenschaftler haben untersucht, ob sich Babys über die Muttermilch mit Hepatitis-C infizieren können. Sie haben herausgefunden, dass gelagerte Muttermilch einen ähnlich starken antiviralen Effekt auf Hepatitis-C-Viren (HCV) ausübt, wie handelsübliche Desinfektionsmittel.
