Dalia Abdelrahim Awadella winner of the Per Manell Award
The Faculty of Pharmacy congratulates Dalia Abdelrahim Awadella, student at the Master of Science Programme in Pharmacy, on receiving the Per Manell Award for Best presentation of degree project 2024. Honorable mentions go to Josef Edelsvärd and Alice Fors.
At the Faculty of Pharmacy's traditional Project Symposium, students at Uppsala University's Master of Science Programme in Pharmacy present their degree projects. Also according to tradition, the Alumni Association Farmis presents the Per Manell Award for Best presentation of degree project, a recognition that this year was awarded to Dalia Abdelrahim Awadella for her project carried out at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry's research environment in Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry
“It is almost overwhelming to receive the Per Manell Award, and I really want to express my gratitude to Mikael Hedeland for welcoming me into his group and Jakob Haglöf for guiding me through the research project. It has been a rewarding journey and in the future I can definitely imagine myself in a PhD Student position,” says Dalia Abdelrahim Awadella.
Alice Fors received an Honorable mention
The Per Manell Award is, in addition to providing important inspiration to Uppsala's pharmacy students, an important factor for the strong ties between the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Alumni Association Farmis. On site at the Project Symposium to present the Award on behalf of the Alumni Association were Hedda Magnusson and Kristoffer Klerfalk, who also presented well-deserved honorable mentions to Josef Edelsvärd and Alice Fors.
“A pharmacist like Per Manell might appear every hundred years or so, we can all learn a lot from him and it is an honor to present this Award. It is also enjoyable to see that the quality of the students' degree projects remain at a high level, notes Kristofer Klerfalk, CEO at Life Science Invest.
For the students of the Master of Science Programme in Pharmacy, a semester of Work placement training awaits before returning to Uppsala and the Faculty of Pharmacy's graduation ceremony in the university Main auditorium.
Per Manell (1948-2022)
Per Manell enrolled at Uppsala University in the 1960s when he began his studies as a pharmacist. After graduating, Per continued his career at the Faculty of Pharmacy as a teacher in social pharmacy before being recruited to the National Board of Health and Welfare's pharmaceutical department, where he eventually was appointed Medical officer of health.
During his long and successful career, Per Manell made many essential pioneering efforts to implement IT in the field of pharmacy, achievements for which he received, among other things, the Pharmacist of the Year award in 1985 and the Rune Lönngren Prize in 2008.
