Dr. Meritxell Huch, from Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge - UK, is the winner of the Hamdan International Award for Medical Research Excellence for the topic of Liver Disorders, according to an official announcement that was given recently in Dubai.

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, the UAE Minister of Finance and the Patron of the Award, will honor Dr. Huch in a grand ceremony to be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 14 December, alongside with 14 prestigious personalities and organizations from USA, France, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco.
'Dr. Meritxell Huch's research is focused on the contribution of stem cells to the regeneration of adult liver and pancreas tissues as well as on the development of organoid cultures for these endodermal organs (stomach, liver and pancreas). She has established a new culture system that maintains the self-renewal status of liver stem cells in vitro, while differentiation towards functional liver cells can be induced by modulating key signaling pathways', as mentioned in a report recently issued by the Hamdan Medical Award.
