The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) announced recently the selection of 18 of Europe's most talented young researchers as the 2007 beneficiaries of its prestigious Young Investigator Programme.

Fabrizio d'Adda di Fagagna, who is the sole Italian scientist in the list of the newly awarded researchers, was selected for the high standard of his research and now joins a vibrant network of almost 200 scientists.

Raising the profile of the young investigators and helping them to attract new collaborations and funding are two main aims of the Programme. By supporting Europe's scientific leaders of tomorrow, the EMBO Young Investigator Programme helps to endorse and promote these young scientists as active and recognized contributors to European research.
