Friday June 20, the Kirsten and Freddy Johansen Foundation presented its two annual prizes for preclinical and clinical research at the Univ. Copenhagen Ceremonial Hall.
We are proud to announce that Prof. Gitte Moos Knudsen is the recipient of this year's prestigious clinical award. The award comes with a prize of 1.75 million DKK, where 250.000 DKK is personal and the rest is for research.
The two award winners were celebrated at a festive event in the Ceremonial Hall at Frue Plads, where Dean Bente Merete Stallknecht participated, together with representatives and board members from the Kirsten and Freddy Johansen Foundation, as well as previous award recipients.
On receiving the clinical award, Gitte Moos Knudsen says:
"The award is a huge recognition of the research that my research group and I have carried out over a number of years, as well as for my organisations, Rigshospitalet and the University of Copenhagen, as well as the many foundations that have supported my research over the years. Personally, it is a special joy for me and my family and a recognition of how much of one's time it takes to conduct research at a high level."
