Dr. Heidi Noels and Dr. Yvonne Döring receive the W.H. Hauss Award from the DGAF
19-21 April 2018
Dr. Heidi Noels from the Institute for Molecular Cardiovascular Research at RWTH Aachen University together with Dr. Yvonne Döring from the Institute for Prophylaxis and Epidemiology of Circulatory Diseases at LMU Munich together received the DGAF W.H. Hauss Award 2018 from the German Society for Atherosclerosis Research (DGAF) during the 32nd Annual Meeting of the DGAF in Rauischholzhausen, Germany. They were awarded for their publication "Vascular CXCR4 Limits Atherosclerosis by Maintaining Arterial Integrity: Evidence From Mouse and Human Studies." (Circulation. 2017; 136: 388-403). In this work it could be shown that vascular CXCR4 has an atheroprotective function by maintaining the arterial integrity and preserving the endothelial barrier function. In addition, CXCR4 stabilizes a contractile smooth muscle cell phenotype. Targeted enhancement of these CXCR4-mediated protective functions could open up novel therapeutic options in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
The award was sponsored by a long-standing active member of the DGAF, Prof. Dr. Winfried März.

Benefits of using Coscine
Detailed video tutorial on YouTube
Uncomplicated data access
Coscine integrates the Research Data Storage (RDS), an S3-compatible object storage and enables linking of other data sources to display all project-relevant research data at a glance
Intuitive user interface for life science
Collaborative projects require easy access to data for all project members. In Coscine, researchers from different institutions can access their data jointly and easily
Increase interconnectivity across your ELN
Connect your data by uploading or externally linking any file to your experiment. Mobile App (Android & iOS) lets you add images directly
FAIR research data
Coscine makes your data “Findable, Accessible, Interoperable & Reusable”. From integrated metadata management to the automatic assignment of persistent identifiers - here your research data becomes FAIR
Participation
New project members get easy access to all relevant data sources, even if they work at a different institution
Metadata
Research data is described with metadata. This facilitates later retrieval and makes the data FAIR
Diverse storage options
Users have various storage systems at their disposal: From GitLab, Linked Data to S3 Object Store - choose what suits you best!
Designated Point of Contact
There is a designated point of contact readily available for any inquiries or assistance needed.
You can reach out to me, Kseniia Dukkart at dukkart@itc.rwth-aachen.de for direct communication to address questions, seek clarification, or resolve any issues that may arise during your usage of the ELN.
