The ESPCR Board has decided this year to launch a new ESPCR award, to recognize and acknowledge scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of pigment cell research. The ESPCR Award will be given at the annual ESPCR meetings (every first meeting after the corresponding IPCC conference) and will be associated with a Keynote Lecture of the awarded researcher. The first recipient of the ESPCR Award will be Prof. Alain Taïeb (Bordeaux, France) who will receive this ESPCR distinction at the next ESPCR meeting in Rennes (France). Prof. Alain Taïeb has made extraordinary and numerous outstanding contributions to the field of pigment cell research, in particular to the field of vitiligo research.

With this new award, the ESPCR has established now three (3) different awards, which will be given in consecutive years following this schedule:

  1. ESPCR Award: at every first ESPCR annual meeting after the corresponding IPCC conference
  2. Fritz Anders Lecture: at every second ESPCR annual meeting after the corresponding IPCC conference
  3. H.S. Raper Medal: at every IPCC conference

All awards have been upgraded https://www.thecareclinic.org/viagra100mg-sildenafil/ and harmonized. All awardees would be giving keynote lectures at the corresponding meetings

On behalf of the President of the International Federation of Pigment Cell Societies (IFPCS), Prof. Shigeki Shibahara, the President of the European Society for Pigment Cell Research (ESPCR), Prof. Lionel Larue, and of the ESPCR Awards Committee, it is my pleasure to announce and congratulate the next H. S. Raper Medal awardee: Prof. Marco d’Ischia (University Federico II, Naples, Italy).

The H.S. Raper Medal is an Award selected by the ESPCR as an international recognition of outstanding contributions to the biochemistry and molecular biology of pigmentation. At the time of the official banquet of the forthcoming XXIst IPCC2011 (September 24-26, 2011; Bordeaux, France), the IFPCS President will present the H.S. Raper Medal to the Awardee. The H.S. Raper Medal was instituted by the ESPCR to perpetuate the memory of Prof. Henry Stanley Raper, for his pioneer contributions to the field of biochemistry of melanins and its precursors. The list of previous H.S. Raper Medallists include: Profs. John Pawelek (1993), Giuseppe Prota (1996), Kowichi Jimbow (1999), Anthony Thody (2002), Sho Ito (2005) and José Carlos García-Borrón (2008).

Prof. Marco d’Ischia leads the group of Bioactive and Bio-inspired Product Chemistry at the Department of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of Naples University Federico II. He has published  some 200 publications in the fields of organic and bioorganic chemistry and biochemistry, on peer-reviewed international journals but also reviews and book chapters, including more than 45 papers on melanin-related topics. Currently, Prof. Marco d’Ischia is the promoter and scientific coordinator of EuMelaNet, an interest group/research network within ESPCR constituted in 2009, with the aim of promoting research on melanins and melanogenesis at multidisciplinary level and offering their collective knowledge and expertise to meet the growing demand for new bio-based materials on the part of companies and health institutions.
