Positional Information and Repair of Skin Injury
Grantee: Peter Reddien, Professor, Whitehead Institute, Cambridge
Amount: DKK 2,498,235
Grant category: Research Grants in open competition
Year: 2021
Geography: USA
The project aims to investigate if an untapped potential for true skin regeneration exists in vertebrates not known to have the capacity to regrow skin tissue. If indeed such capacity exists and if it can be reactivated it may be possible to regenerate fully functional skin without any scarring.
Peter Reddien and his team at Whitehead Institute will look at the so-called “regional identity” of new cells which is central to regeneration in many animals capable of regeneration. They will use sophisticated techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to compare factors and signaling pathways central to development in skin. Mouse skin – a vertebrate not known to be able to regenerate – and skin from a special regenerative salamander (axolotl) are used as models.
Peter Reddien’s research project is a basic skin science project with a novel approach to understanding the skin’s potential for regeneration.

Formidling af sundhedsvidenskabelig viden på platformen lex.dk
Grantee: Lex.dk
Amount: DKK 1,000,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2022
Geography: Denmark
Lex.dk is an association formed by the Danish Universities, Gyldendal A/S, G.E.C. Gad’s Foundation and the Danish Society for Language and Literature, which was originally established around the online version of ‘Den Store Danske’, Gyldendal’s well-renowned encyclopedia. The encyclopedia focuses on nature, culture, science, and society with a national point of departure and a global outlook.
Lex.dk has become the go-to resource for dissemination of validated research information from many areas of expertise and is written by researchers and experts. The encyclopedia serves as an important source to the broader public, but rather importantly, also to pupils in elementary school and A-level students when compiling information for assignments and reports.
Lex.dk is unique in that there is no other encyclopedia source in Danish that provides a broad perspective on health and health sciences through focused articles. This grant supports updating and significantly expanding content on health and health research through collaboration with the Norwegian counterpart. This means that newly revised and well-researched information on will become available to the general Danish public online.
The 18th International Workshop on Langerhans Cells #LC2025
Grantee: Eynav Klechevsky, Associate Professor, Washington University in St. Louis on behalf of the Workshop
Amount: DKK 499,812
Grant category: Research Networking
Year: 2025
Geography: USA
The 18th International Workshop of Langerhans Cells and Related Myeloid Cells in the Skin will take place on September 3–5, 2025, at Washington University in St. Louis. This global scientific meeting brings together researchers to explore the biology and interaction of immune cells in the skin – how they protect us, how they contribute to diseases like eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer, and how they can be targeted for new treatments. The workshop fosters discovery, collaboration, and innovation in skin science, with talks by leading scientists, and early-career researchers, males and females from around the world.
