Postdoctoral Fellow Dorothy Lee Receives Michael Höllwarth Prize at ISPSR 2026
Postdoctoral Fellow Dorothy Lee from the Precision Regenerative Medicine Research Centre (PRMRC) at Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) was awarded the Michael Höllwarth Prize at the International Symposium on Pediatric Surgical Research (ISPSR) 2026, held in Venice, Italy, from October 8 to 10, 2026. The prize recognizes outstanding research contributions presented at the symposium.
Dr. Lee received the award for her presentation on intestinal injury, tissue repair, and regenerative medicine in neonatal and paediatric disease. Her work reflects the PRMRC’s ongoing efforts to integrate stem cell biology, organoid models, and regenerative therapeutic strategies to address severe neonatal and paediatric intestinal diseases.
ISPSR is a leading international forum dedicated to advancing research in pediatric surgery, bringing together surgeons, scientists, and researchers from around the world to share the latest findings in congenital malformations, neonatal surgical diseases, tissue injury and repair, and translational research.
The Michael Höllwarth Prize is awarded in honor of Professor Michael Höllwarth, a distinguished figure in pediatric surgical research, and recognizes young investigators for excellence in scientific research and presentation. This recognition highlights the growing international visibility of the Centre’s research in pediatric surgical diseases and regenerative medicine.
