“Professor Huda Zoghbi and Professor Sir Adrian Bird have been awarded The Brain Prize 2022, worth 10 million Danish kroner, for their groundbreaking work to map and understand epigenetic regulation of the brain and for identifying the gene that causes Rett syndrome. Due to their research, we’re also closer to a treatment breakthrough and we’ve come to understand that neurological developmental disorders are not necessarily irreversible.”

Margrete Sørensen is a prominent Danish sculptor. She works in a variety of materials and media, and her sculptures have been exhibited all over the world, from the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York to the Sao Paolo Biennale.
Her approach is grounded in constructivism, but she also explores the concept of the unknown in her large, almost architectural installations with organic, sensory structures. Margrete Sørensen has been awarded the Eckersberg Medal by The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
