The Brain Prize 2025 was awarded for pioneering work on brain cancer by Frank Winkler and Michelle Monje. This short portrait film tells about their upbringing and scientific journeys, and also how treating patients inspires their work on these devastating diseases. #Neuroscience

This evening in Copenhagen, H.M. The King presented The Brain Prize to Professors Frank Winkler and @Michelle_Monje at the prestigious annual ceremony. Our heartfelt congratulations - an extraordinary recognition of pioneering contributions to #research into cancer neuroscience.

H.M. King of Denmark: “Professors Winkler and Monje, your achievements in cancer neuroscience are truly extraordinary. You are an inspiration not only to your peers but to generations of scientists yet to come. It is my great honor to present you with The Brain Prize.…

Andreas M. Lindenberg, Chair of the Brain Prize Selection Committee: These two professors have transformed our understanding of one of the most devastating diseases known to medicine: gliomas. They have changed the way we think about the relationship between the brain and #cancer

Lene Skole, CEO, the Lundbeck Foundation: Your collaboration highlights the vital role of openness and teamwork. Thank you, Professors Michelle and Frank, for your outstanding contributions to #neuroscience. Your journeys are truly inspiring - it is an honour to share your story.

Danish Minister for Higher Education and Science highlights the need to strengthen conditions for science, especially brain research. Curiosity drives discovery, and supporting neuroscience is key to tackling some of the biggest health challenges. #Neuroscience #BrainResearch

Chair of the Board, Lundbeck Foundation, Søren Skou at The Brain Prize Celebration: The Lundbeck Foundation is very dedicated to brain health and science. In 2024, 1 BN. DKK (€140M) was awarded in research grants. 90% for #BrainResearch. We are proud to celebrate neuroscience.

Brain Prize winner Frank Winkler, Prof. of Neuro-Oncology at Heidelberg University, is delivering his Brain Prize Lecture: “Neural influences on adult brain tumors: from bench to bedside” His groundbreaking research reveals how neurons drive brain tumour progression. #BrainPrize

Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, Chair of the Selection Committee, on awarding the 2025 Brain Prize: “For their groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of how neural mechanisms influence brain tumour biology—an entirely new field at the interface of neuroscience and oncology.”

Brain Prize winner @michelle_monje , Professor of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology at Stanford University, is giving her Brain Prize Lecture “The Neuroscience of Brain Cancer” at the University of Copenhagen. She is a leading voice in bridging neuroscience and oncology. #BrainCancer
