The Dan Lewis Foundation for Brain Regeneration is proud to announce the 2025 DLF Prize, a $20,000 award recognizing outstanding early career scientists (2 to 5 years post-doc) conducting innovative research in neuroscience, pharmacology, or biotechnology. This prestigious prize honors researchers whose work aligns with the DLF mission to drive breakthroughs in neural regeneration and repair.
DLF Research Priorities
- Pharmacological Reactivation of Neural Repair: Research into pharmacological methods of reactivating or augmenting synaptogenesis, neurogenesis or axonal repair.
- Cell-Based Cortical Repair: Investigating the potential of derived cortical neurons to restore function in damaged cortical regions.
- Transcriptomics of Neural Recovery: Characterizing transcriptomic profiles of cortical neurons in the recovery phase following brain injury to identify pathways that drive repair.
- Molecular Inhibitor Targeting: Advancing anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASO’s) or small-molecule therapeutics designed to downregulate inhibitors of neural regeneration in the cortex or spinal cord.
