The poster contribution award was delivered to Dr. Andrew Bahn
The scientific committee of Paris Redox 2018 awarded Dr. Andrew Bahn from University of Otago, New Zealand for his poster entitled “The emerging role of the antioxidant uric acid in pancreatic β- cell viability”
"It was my second time (attended also in 2017) I have attended the conference and both times I have enjoyed it very much. It is small but this is the beauty of it as you are in direct contact to many of the researchers. The venue for this is perfect and the field seems to grow in size, diversity and interest. Interestingly, I met some German researchers I want to collaborate with. It is an exciting field and one that will define how we see all the curent diseases hauting modern society in the future. My field is a little bit underrepresented, but especially by receiving this award I already told the organisers that this is about to change. I will try to bring some uric acid researchers together for the meeting next year for a special session on this. I am already looking forward to next year to return to Paris and be more involved. Nice meeting, nice people, excellent organisation, will recommed it to others as well."
