Czech student Karina Movsesjan received one of the first three prizes of the EU Contest for Young Scientists on Tuesday, the European Commission has said.
The international jury appreciated the biochemical research into the mutation of protein RAD51 for which she also received prizes in the Czech Republic last November and in the USA this year.
Movsesjan, 18, hails from Kyrgyzstan and now studies biochemistry at Masaryk University in Brno.
