Professor Michelle Monje and Professor Frank Winkler are awarded The Brain Prize 2025 for pioneering the field of Cancer Neuroscience.
Gliomas are extraordinarily difficult to treat and are the leading cause of brain tumour-related deaths in both children and adults. Michelle Monje and Frank Winkler have made transformative discoveries by showing that neural activity in the brain can promote cancer initiation, growth, spread and treatment resistance.

Thus, the everyday activity that takes place in the brain promotes the development of cancers within it. These remarkable findings have laid the foundation for an entirely new field of research called ‘Cancer Neuroscience’ that represents a paradigm shift in the understanding of these cancers, and which offers vital new opportunities for treatment.

We look forward to welcoming you.
