Filippo Mancia (@pippomancia) receives a 2016 Schaefer Research Scholarship Award from Columbia University Medical Center (@ColumbiaMed @ColumbiaPS @Columbia) in recognition for his work on the biochemistry and structural biology of membrane proteins, and for his leadership role within the Columbia University and local structural biology community. This honor was made possible through the generosity of the late Dr. Ludwig Schaefer in support of research in human physiology and bestowed by Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Also a recipient of this year's awards is another Italian, Dr. Anna Moroni, from the University of Milano, in recognition of her work on ion channel physiology, and to support her one year sabbatical visit to the Department of Physiology at Columbia University Medical Center.
