The world's largest brain research prize is Danish and is awarded and founded by the Lundbeck Foundation. Each year, we award 10 million DKK (approx. 1,3 million€) to one or more brain researchers who have had a ground-breaking impact on brain research.
The Brain Prize winners of 2023, Michael Greenberg, Christine Holt, and Erin Schuman have made ground-breaking discoveries by showing how the synthesis of new proteins is triggered in different parts of the neuron, thereby guiding brain development and plasticity in ways that impact our behaviour for a lifetime.
