CDD award recipients are recognized as active investigators who have produced innovative and paradigm-shifting research worthy of significant and broad attention in cell death. 

Each year at its annual conference, the ECDO invites a scientist with an exceptional record in cell death research to present the ECDO Honorary Lecture. After giving a keynote lecture at the conference Professor Hardwick was presented with the award for pioneering studies defining key components of cell death pathways. 

Congratulations, Marie, on receiving this prestigious award and for your important contributions to the field of cell death.
