Winner 2023: Oscar Marín, United Kingdom

Oscar Marín is professor of neuroscience at King’s College London and director of the MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders. His research into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development and function of the cerebral cortex has helped to explain how genetic and environmental factors interact during brain development to shape the neural circuits that underlie cognition, emotion, and behaviour, and has shed new light on how different types of neurons are generated, how they migrate to their final destinations in the brain, and how they establish the complex connections that underlie cognitive and behavioural functions.
