Julia Palm received the award for her paper “The clinical use of deslorelin acetate (Suprelorin®) in companion animal medicine”, also on behalf of her co-authors Orsolya Balogh and Iris Reichler (University of Zurich). The paper was published in the summer issue of the European Journal of Companion Animal Practice (Volume 23(2) 2013, pp 28-32), and originally appeared in the Schweizer Archiv für Tierheilkunde.
