We are delighted to announce that Dr. Bonnie Murphy has been awarded the prestigious Clara Immerwahr Award 2025. This esteemed recognition celebrates her outstanding contributions to catalysis research and her innovative approach to unraveling the structure and function of proteins critical to bioenergetic processes.

Dr. Murphy employs advanced techniques, including cryo-EM, biochemical, molecular, and electrochemical methods, to deepen our understanding of catalysis and bioenergetics. Her groundbreaking work continues to make significant strides in the scientific community.

The Clara Immerwahr Award honors exceptional young women scientists in the field of catalysis and is named after Dr. Clara Immerwahr, the first woman in Germany to earn a doctorate in physical chemistry. The award includes a €15,000 grant for a research stay at UniSysCat – Cluster of Excellence, promoting collaboration within this interdisciplinary research network.

We are incredibly proud of Dr. Murphy’s achievements and look forward to witnessing her continued success and contributions to the field.
