Zwei wegweisende Wissenschaftler erhielten den „Brain Prize 2025" für ihre Entdeckungen, die eine völlig neue Sichtweise und ein neues Verständnis von Hirntumoren und den möglichen Behandlungsstrategien eröffnen.

KOPENHAGEN, Dänemark, 29. Mai 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Seine Majestät König Frederik von Dänemark überreichte den Neurowissenschaftlern Professorin Michelle Monje (USA) und Frank Winkler (Deutschland) am Mittwochabend bei einer Zeremonie in Kopenhagen ihre „Brain Prize"-Medaillen und eine Urkunde. Der Brain Prize ist die weltweit größte Auszeichnung für herausragende Beiträge zur Neurowissenschaft, die mit 1,3 Millionen Euro dotiert ist.

Während der Zeremonie hielt der König eine Rede, in der er die beiden Preisträger für ihre Entdeckungen lobte:

„Ihre Leistungen auf dem Gebiet der Krebs-Neurowissenschaften sind wirklich außergewöhnlich. Sie sind nicht nur eine Inspiration für Ihre Kollegen, sondern auch für künftige Generationen von Wissenschaftlern. Dank Ihres unermüdlichen Einsatzes besteht die Hoffnung, dass eines Tages alle Arten von Hirntumoren geheilt werden können."

Monje und Winkler haben bahnbrechende Entdeckungen gemacht, indem sie gezeigt haben, dass die alltägliche Aktivität, die im Gehirn stattfindet, die Entwicklung von Krebserkrankungen im Gehirn fördert. Jüngste Studien zeigen außerdem, dass der Einfluss des Nervensystems nicht nur auf Tumore im Gehirn beschränkt ist, sondern auch Tumore im gesamten Körper betrifft.

Diese bemerkenswerten Erkenntnisse haben die Grundlage für ein völlig neues Forschungsgebiet mit dem Namen „Cancer Neuroscience" gelegt, das einen Paradigmenwechsel zum Verständnis dieser Krebsarten darstellt, und entscheidende neue Möglichkeiten für eine Behandlung bietet. Neue Behandlungsmöglichkeiten sind von entscheidender Bedeutung, da Krebserkrankungen des Gehirns, insbesondere die so genannten Gliome, außerordentlich schwer zu behandeln sind und die Hauptursache für Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit Hirntumoren sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei Erwachsenen darstellen.

Der Brain Prize wird seit 2011 jedes Jahr von der Lundbeck-Stiftung verliehen. Die Feier findet in Kopenhagen statt, und dieses Jahr nahmen 360 geladene Gäste daran teil. Ehrengäste waren die Preisträger und ihre Familien sowie der Schirmherr des Preises, Seine Majestät der König von Dänemark.

Der Brain Prize 2025 wird verliehen an:

Michelle Monje MD, PhD, Milan Gambhir Professor für pädiatrische Neuro-Onkologie an der Stanford Medicine und Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator,

und

Dr. Frank Winkler, Professor für experimentelle Neuro-Onkologie,

Universität Heidelberg, Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg, Abteilung Neurologie, und Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum

für:

Pionierarbeit in der Krebs-Neurowissenschaft: krankheitsauslösende Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Gehirn und Hirntumoren.
