I am truly honoured to receive this prize. I published my very first senior author article in Genes, so a few years later I can definitely say it has brought me good luck! I want to thank my team, mentors and colleagues from the departments of Biostatistics and Neuroscience who made the work that led to the award possible.– Dr Alfredo Iacoangeli, Senior Research Fellow at King's IoPPN
