PROSE award

Congratulations to Dr Daniel Muñoz Espín, whose new book has been awarded a prestigious PROSE award by the Association of American publishers (AAP). Since 1976 the PROSE awards have been honouring scholarly works in a number of categories across all areas of academic study.

Daniel, Group Leader in the Early Cancer Institute and Co-Lead of the CRUK Cambridge Centre Thoracic Cancer Programme, co-authored the book entitled Cellular Senescence in Disease with Prof Manuel Serrano, Principal Investigator at Altos Labs.

The book was selected as winner in the Biomedicine and Neuroscience category in the 46th PROSE awards. A panel of 24 judges chose category winners from more than 560 entries. Published by Elsevier the book is aimed at researchers and clinicians wishing to learn more about the cellular mechanisms of diseases.

Daniel comments: “Research in the field of senescence has grown considerably in recent times due to the realisation that senescent cells are associated with a significant number of diseases. Our book provides a thorough introduction to cellular senescence and its role in multiple pathologies.

We are absolutely thrilled by this unexpected recognition of our work from the AAP!”

Category winners are eligible for the next level of PROSE honours – the Awards for Excellence winners, which will be announced in the coming weeks. We wish Daniel and Manuel all the best for this next stage!
