BOKU Female Inventor 2022
Nicole Borth received the BOKU Female Inventor of the Year 2022 award! Ms Borth is a role model for young female scientists, as she is an extraordinarily successful researcher who, as Area Head of the ACIB, has been the beneficiary of numerous company collaborations. The fact that an Austrian research team succeeded in sequencing the genetic material of the Chinese hamster for the first time is largely thanks to her years of research and opens up new methods in the development of healing methods.
