Beate has already provided key contributions to the understanding of basic skin biology as well as new insights into the processes of wound regeneration and skin cancer development showing true therapeutic potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curiosity-driven research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ida Brams, Chief Grant Officer at the LEO Foundation, is excited about honoring Beate with the award:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the LEO Foundation, we are excited to honor an outstanding and curious young researcher like Beate, who has already shown exceptional talent and perseverance. As an experimentalist, Beate has developed new techniques in the lab and demonstrated that she can develop her research in new directions by combining expert theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and scientific curiosity,\u201d says Ida Brams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeate is an exceptionally talented young scientist showing huge potential for a continued career as an independent scientist and research leader,\u201d Ida Brams continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a focused research vision, Beate has established a successful research group at the Medical University of Vienna that holds promise for a pioneering piece of work. The lab addresses the yet unresolved role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in malignant skin cancer using innovative techniques including in vivo lineage tracing, single-cell transcriptomics, and mass cytometry. Thus, the Lichtenberger lab has already published important results in high impact journals, e.g., JID, FASEB J, Nature, Cell and Science Translational Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-accordion-element accordion align\" data-block_608fbaf589861>\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pl-0 order-1\">\n      <div class=\"d-flex flex-row align-items-center h-100\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-collapse collapsed p-0 mr-3\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-block_608fbaf589861\" title=\"Click to expand\"><\/button>\n        <div class=\"d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n          <h3>Beate Lichtenberger<\/h3>\n                      <h5>Principal Investigator, the Medical University of Vienna, Austria <\/h5>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pr-0 order-sm-first order-first order-sm-2\">\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-837x1024.png\" class=\"w-100 h-auto\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-837x1024.png 837w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-245x300.png 245w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-768x939.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-1256x1536.png 1256w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374-960x1174.png 960w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/Beate-Lichtenberger_web-e1632297243374.png 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 py-4 px-0 collapse fade out order-3\" id=\"collapse-block_608fbaf589861\">\n      <p><strong>2016 \u2013 present<br \/>\n<\/strong>Principal Investigator at the Skin &amp; Endothelium Research Division (SERD), Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Vienna, Austria<\/p>\n<p><strong>2012 \u2013 2016<br \/>\n<\/strong>Postdoctoral studies at the Centre for Stem Cells &amp; Regenerative Medicine, King\u2019s College London, UK<\/p>\n<p><strong>2011 \u2013 2012<br \/>\n<\/strong>Postdoctoral studies at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research, University of Cambridge, UK<\/p>\n<p><strong>2009 \u2013 2011<br \/>\n<\/strong>Postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Cancer Research, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Austria<\/p>\n<p><strong>2004 \u2013 2009<br \/>\n<\/strong>PhD thesis at the Institute of Cancer Research, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Austria<\/p>\n<p>Please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lichtenbergerlab.org\/\">Lichtenberger lab<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 border-wb order-4\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:65px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A true fascination of the skin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no doubt that Beate has a true passion for skin research. When asked what fascinates her about the skin, she shares the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe skin is the largest organ of our bodies with many functions ranging from protection against physical or chemical harm to camouflage and temperature regulation, and it has important roles in immunity. In a way, the skin reflects our souls and physical condition \u2013 it reveals whether we feel good or bad or tired, and our age. Skin research is at least as multifaceted as the skin\u2019s many different functions, and we have barely scratched the surface to understand what is happening in skin physiology and disease. Besides, the skin is an excellent tool to study stem cells and regeneration, it is easily accessible, and alterations can be seen almost immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The passion for skin research was nourished during Beate\u2019s master studies at the Department of Dermatology and during her doctoral studies at the Institute of Cancer research in Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBack then, I investigated how different signaling pathways cooperate in epidermal stem cells to promote skin cancer. I discovered a novel function for the so-called pro-angiogenic factor VEGF. It was very rewarding to see that my findings influenced the treatment regimen of various solid cancers as well as of the side effects of anti-EGFR cancer therapy \u2013 and it encouraged me to pursue a career in skin research,\u201d says Beate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From bench to bedside<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going forward, Beate and her team will continue to investigate the role of fibroblasts in skin cancer and how research results can be taken from bench to bedside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur findings will hopefully provide the basis for establishing a panel of biomarkers for a novel tool \u2013 imaging mass cytometry (IMC) \u2013 that can provide us with high-dimensional&nbsp;imaging&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;of&nbsp;tumour tissue samples to predict patient prognosis and therapy outcome,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beate is thrilled to receive the LEO Foundation\u2019s Region EMEA award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am honored and proud to receive this prestigious award. It is very rewarding and a tremendous recognition of my team\u2019s work to be selected from so many other talented researchers in dermatology. I\u2019m pretty sure that the LEO Foundation Award will further improve the visibility of my lab and increase my chances of getting additional funding for our projects, and thus boost my scientific career,\u201d says Beate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An individual prize for young skin research talents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LEO Foundation Award &#8211; worth USD 100,000 &#8211; is given three times annually \u2013 one in each of the three regions: Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award is an individual prize awarded in open competition. It was born out of the aim of advancing the understanding and treatment of skin diseases and strengthening the pipeline of excellent dermatology researchers. The award recognizes promising young talents and hopefully provides a boost to their future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All applications are evaluated by a 9-member <a href=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/grants-and-awards\/leo-foundation-awards\/#global-review-panel\">Global Review Panel<\/a> appointed by their respective dermatology society in regions Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the first LEO Foundation Award in 2008, more than 30 young skin researchers have received the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file
