Fred Bamatter Award 
for clinical and basic research in perinatology

Every two years,  the Fred Bamatter Award is presented at the Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Pediatrics (CHF 20'000.-). The aim is to reward clinical and basic research in Perinatology. The perinatal period should be taken in the widest sense of the word, including the prenatal (embryo and fetus), birth, postnatal and follow-up periods.

Professor Fred Bamatter (1899-1988) was an outstanding clinician, teacher and researcher. During his lectures, he always tried to link clinical practice to scientific knowledge. Thus, the priority will be given to researchers who attempt to make the same link.

Candidates, Swiss or living in Switzerland, should submit a letter of motivation, a CV and a list of publications, as well as a copy of their most significant publication to the President of the Bamatter Foundation. Deadline: April 30, 2019.

Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Roth-Kleiner
