The Swedish Society for Virology has awarded the Pandemifonden Fenyö Prize for 2024 to Daniel Sheward, Assistant Professor at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet.
Daniel Sheward is awarded the prize in recognition of his work on viral immunology, particularly his crucial contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is always gratifying to receive recognition and validation that what you're doing is important! But, of course, there's always more work to be done. Since there isn't any formal prize ceremony, I will just have a small celebration with my lab", says Daniel Sheward.
The Fenyö Prize is awarded annually to talented early-career researchers in Sweden working in the field of virology. The prize includes a grant of 100,000 SEK to promote virology research.
