IBRO-Kemali Prize

The IBRO Dargut and Milena Kemali International Prize for Research in the field of Basic and Clinical Neurosciences' is a prize awarded every two years to an outstanding researcher, under 45 years old, who made important contributions in the field of Basic and Clinical Neurosciences.[1] The award was established in 1998.[2]

The prize award equals 25,000 Euros, and the prize winner is invited to give a lecture at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum of Neuroscience held every two year.[1] According to the FENS regulations, speakers from the previous FENS Forum cannot be speakers at the next FENS Forum.[3] Nominations should be submitted in electronic format and are evaluated by the Prize Committee of the IBRO Dargut & Milena Kemali Foundation.[3]

Prize winners
  • 2020 - Hailan Hu (Zheijiang, China) – for impressive work on the fundamental neurobiological mechanisms of emotional and affective behaviors.[4]
  • 2018 - Guillermina López-Bendito (Alicante, Spain) - for outstanding work on mechanisms of axon guidance in brain development, and in particular in thalamocortical connectivity.[5]
  • 2016 - Casper Hoogenraad (Utrecht, The Netherlands) - for outstanding work on cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport in neural development and synaptic plasticity.[6]
  • 2014 - Patrik Verstreken (Leuven, Belgium) - for success in undoing the effect of one of the genetic defects that leads to Parkinson’s using vitamin K2.[7]
  • 2012 - Eleanor Maguire (London, UK) - for innovative contributions to understanding human memory.[8]
  • 2010 - Jonas Frisén (Stockholm, Sweden) - for pioneering contributions to understanding of neurogenesis in the central nervous system.[9]
  • 2008 - Massimo Scanziani (San Diego, CA, USA) - for seminal discoveries on how cerebral cortex perceives the environment by showing that cortical circuits operate in an activity-dependent and non-linear fashion using canonical feed-forward and feed-back inhibition circuits as feature detectors of incoming stimuli.
  • 2006 - Patrik Ernfors (Stockholm, Sweden) - for outstanding work on the expression and function of neurotrophic factors and neuropeptide and their receptors exploiting transgenic techniques.
  • 2004 - Cornelia I. Bargmann (San Francisco, CA, USA) for fundamental discoveries concerning genes, behavior, and the sense of smell in the nematode C. elegans.[10]
  • 2002 - Daniele Piomelli (Irvine, CA, USA) for fundamental discoveries concerning the functional roles and regulation of endogenous cannabinoids in the brain and peripheral tissues.[11]
  • 2000 - Robert C. Malenka (Boston, MA, USA) - for fundamental contributions in the field of synaptic plasticity, in particular long term potentiation and long term depression, and the characterization of the role of silent synapses in these processes.
  • 1998 - Tamas Freund (Budapest, Hungary) - for outstanding contributions to the organization and chemical characterization of identified neuronal circuits and cell types in the brain, in particular in the hippocampus.[2]
