2026 Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize Awarded to Solter and Surani for Genomic Imprinting Discovery

Professor Davor Solter and Professor Azim Surani have been awarded the 2026 Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize, endowed with €120,000, for their discovery of genomic imprinting — a fundamental principle of epigenetics where genes carry molecular markers that determine whether the maternal or paternal copy is active without altering the DNA sequence. The prize was presented on 14 March 2026, Paul Ehrlich's birthday, in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt. The laureates presented their research at a scientific colloquium at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut on 16 March 2026.
