Prior to embarking on a legal career, Gabor was an accomplished scientist who was awarded an internship at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry (Martinsried, Germany), and a scholarship from the Bavarian Government for Gifted Students in recognition of his outstanding academic achievements during the course of his graduate studies.
