Dr. Michael Ramharter has been awarded the biannual award of the German Association for Tropical Medicine (DTG) for his work on the clinical development of drugs against poverty-related infectious diseases in Africa. Over the past decade, Dr. Ramharter has led several drug development trials in the field of malaria and neglected tropical diseases.
