The ESC Outstanding Achievement Award 2017 was given to DZHK-Professor Oliver Söhnlein during the ESC meeting in Barcelona. With this award the ESC Council for Basic Cardiovascular Science (CBCS) honors basic researchers with outstanding accomplishments in the early stage of their career. The award was given at the Basic Science Poster Reception during the ESC Congress. Prof. Söhnlein was honored for his innovative translational ideas to inhibit inflammation (e.g. Alard et al., Sci Transl Med, 2015; Ortega-Gomez et al., Circulation, 2016) and to stimulate repair (e.g. Soehnlein et al., Sci Transl Med, 2011; Drechsler et al., Circ Res., 2015; Viola et al., Circ Res, 2016) in the context of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
