"It is the type of research that the two prize winners represents that are crucial for future growth in Denmark."

Breakthrough in cancer research

Professor Kristian Helin from BRIC receives the Carlsberg Foundation Research Prize in natural sciences for his outstanding basic research in the mechanisms controlling cell division and differentiation.

"The focus of my research is on how specific mechanisms can control our gene activity, and so to speak turn genes on or off at specific time points during development and differentiation. The Carlsberg Foundation Research Prize is a great acknowledgement of my work and of basic science in general," says Kristian Helin.

Kristian Helin's research has further contributed with important knowledge of what goes wrong in the cells when cancer occurs. This can lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment through development of new therapeutics. In addition to his scientific work, Kristian Helin is the founding director of BRIC and has since 2003 been responsible for building up BRIC to an international elite research centre with 250 employees.

Conflict and new rules of the game

Professor, PhD Ole Wver is awarded the prize for his long-standing work - in Denmark and abroad - with theories on international politics, security theory, religious conflicts and high politics of climate.
