Christine Holt, Professor emerita of Developmental Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and Erin Schuman, Professor of Neurobiology at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research have been named the 2023 Brain Prize Winners. Both Holt and Schuman received the Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research award in 2022. Michael Greenberg from the Harvard Medical School also received Brain Prize. The Brain Prize is an international scientific award that honors scientists for their outstanding contribution to neuroscience.
The Lunkbeck Foundation noted that the 2023 recipients of the Brain Prize 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.”
The following is the program and speakers for the Brain Prize Webinar Series that will be held from October 25, 2023 through March 27, 2024. The series is online and free to attend.
Leslie Griffith, Nancy Lurie Marks Professor of Neuroscience and the Director of the Volen National Center for Complex Systems will be participating in this series on December 7, 2023.
