We’re delighted to congratulate Neuroscience, Sensory Systems Section Head Christine Petit (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France) on recently being awarded the Brain Prize by the Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Foundation (GLEBRF).
The Brain Prize is a €1 million prize awarded by the GLEBRF, a charitable, non-profit organization, to one or more scientists who’ve made an outstanding contribution to European neuroscience. Christine Petit shares the award jointly with Karen Steel. The pair received the award “for their unique, world-leading contributions to our understanding of the genetic regulation of the development and functioning of the ear, and for elucidating the causes of many of the hundreds of inherited forms of deafness.”
Many congratulations to Christine and Karen!
