This year’s Crafoord Prize is awarded for fundamental discoveries in immune regulation

Three immunology researchers share 2017’s Crafoord Prize in Polyarthritis, for which the prize money is 6 million Swedish krona.

They put a brake on cells that are overzealous and attack the body’s own tissue. There are hopes that their discoveries will lead the way to new, highly effective treatment methods for autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, MS and type 1 diabetes.The Royal Science Academy of Sciences has decided to award the

The Crafoord Prize in Biosciences 2015

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2015 Crafoord Prize in Biosciences to  Richard Lewontin, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA and Tomoko Ohta, National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Japan.  “for their pioneering analyses and fundamental contributions to the understanding of genetic polymorphism”.  Nowadays, it may seem obvious that our genetic makeup is as unique as our fingerprints, but this was a startling contradiction to the prevailing theories when it was discovered in the 1960s. This new understanding, and the new theories it gave rise
