Congratulations to Professor Lars H. Pinborg who on Friday December 5th was awarded the 2025 Niels A. Lassen Prize. Every year, the prize is awarded at Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital's Niels A. Lassen day, which is their annual research day taking place as close as possible to Niels A. Lassen's birthday (December 7th).
The prize is awarded by the Niels A. Lassen Foundation, which was established in memory of Professor, Chief Physician, Dr. med. Niels A. Lassen (1926-1997) who was one of the most important Danish medical researchers of the 20th century. He developed several groundbreaking methods for measuring the body's blood flow and metabolism, and he was a pioneer in the development of methods that are now used with great success to map brain function.
