FENS EJN Award Winner 2022
Professor Michal Schwartz (Israel) former ISNI president has been awarded the FENS EJN Award 2022 for her outstanding career in the area of neuroimmunology. Working as a Professor of Neuroimmunology at the Weizmann Institute of Science, she is the world pioneer in breaking the long-held dogma regarding the relationships between the central nervous system and the immune system. Deciphering the mechanism led her to propose that ageing or exhaustion of the immune system plays a crucial role in perpetuating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia and to suggest a novel treatment for AD, which harnesses the immune system to help the brain.
ISNI would like to congratulate Professor Schwartz for winning this prestigious award. Professor Schwartz will be giving the FENS EJN Award Lecture at the FENS Forum 2022 and will write a review for publication in the European Journal of Neuroscience (EJN).
The FENS EJN Award is given in recognition of outstanding scientific work in all areas of neuroscience. The award is a personal prize of £10,000, sponsored by Wiley (publisher of the European Journal of Neuroscience)
