The foundation
The Beug Foundation for Metastasis Research recognizes that the molecular bases of metastasis still remain elusive and thus represent an area of significant opportunity to combat cancer and metastasis.
The Foundation promotes both basic and translational research with the ultimate aim to develop novel therapies.
The Metastasis Prize
The focus of the prize is based on the founder’s (Hartmut Beug) idea of supporting “new and original approaches to basic research on cancer metastasis, as well as new activities in the field of translational research”. Two or more prizes are to be awarded every two years to young scientists (up to 6, respectively 12 years after PhD examination procedure). The beginning of the call will be announced on the website.
