Skou Prize awarded to researcher in lymphoma in the skin

Clinical associate professor and medical specialist in dermatology, Lise Maria Lindahl, receives the Jens Christian Skou Prize for her research on lymphoma in the skin. Among other things, Lise Maria Lindahl has developed a marker that can predict how lymphoma in the skin will progress, making it possible to offer patients more targeted and effective treatment. In addition, she has helped demonstrate that antibiotic treatment cannot only eliminate skin infections caused by cancer, but also treat the cancerous tumours themselves.

In connection with the award ceremony, Head of Department Jørgen Frøkiær from the Department of Clinical Medicine stated in a press release that Lise Maria Lindahl is a true pioneer in her field:

“It is very well deserved that she receives the Skou Prize. She has demonstrated extraordinary talent and creativity in her research, establishing her own field of study here at Aarhus University, and her work offers tangible hope for better patient treatments.”

It was the Head of Department who nominated Lise Maria Lindahl for the Jens Christian Skou Prize.

The prize is awarded annually to a promising researcher at the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University in recognition of “outstanding research, talent, and extraordinary creativity and productivity.” The prize is named after Professor and Nobel Prize winner Jens Christian Skou and comes with DKK 100,000 for research.

The Skou Prize was awarded on 7 October.
