Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 Travel Award. The award has been granted to the following researchers:
Dr. Adriana Vinhas, a Junior Researcher at the 3B’s Research Group (I3Bs), University of Minho, Portugal. Her research focuses on the environmental features mediating inflammatory signals and pro-healing phenotypes in tendon cells, and on the tendon cells’ responsiveness to magnetic fields.
Dr. Andi Cani is currently transitioning from a postdoctoral fellowship to a Research Investigator role in Dr. Daniel Hayes’ lab at the University of Michigan studying breast cancer through circulating tumor cells and using ctDNA liquid biopsies. His career goals are to build an independent research program that includes translational studies of cancer evolution and its clinically relevant, targetable vulnerabilities.
Dr. Stefano Tomassi has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Naples Federico II since 2019, in which he conducts research in medicinal chemistry and developing novel chemotypes to mimic nucleic acid biological functions.
As the awardees, they will each receive an honorarium of CHF 800 and a certificate.
With many high-quality applicants, the evaluation process and final decision were challenging. We would like to thank all of the applicants for submitting a diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the assessment committee, I congratulate the winners on their accomplishments.
