Open positions in the Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellows program in Sweden

Molecular medicine leverages physical, chemical, biological, informatic and medical tools to increase understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease towards the aim of improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellows program aims to recruit outstanding young scientists within the area of molecular medicine and to provide them with resources, core facilities and a research environment that enables them to realize their full scientific potential and significantly advance the field of molecular medicine in Sweden.

Four centers have been established within the program, in Gothenburg, Linköping, Lund, and Umeå, with extensive collaboration between centers, with SciLifeLab centers, as well as the national Data-driven life science (DDLS) program. Collectively, the centers have recruited >100 fellows and are currently in the process of recruiting >12 additional fellows for the period 2025-2028. More information about the centres can be found at https://wcmm.se/ . Fellows in the Molecular medicine program and DDLS program become part of the Program for Academic Leaders in Life Science (PALS, https://www.palsnetwork.se/ )

The program was established in collaboration between the Knut and Alice Wallenberg (KAW) Foundation and each of the four contributing Universities and Hospital regions, as part of a national agenda to further strengthen Sweden´s position within molecular medicine.

The Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Translational Medicine (WCMTM) in Gothenburg

The Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine at the University in Gothenburg was established in collaboration between the KAW Foundation, Hospital Region West and AstraZeneca. The Centre includes activities at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Faculty of Science at the University of Gothenburg, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and AstraZeneca in order to ensure unique translational research environments in the interface between academia, health care and the pharmaceutical industry. Activities at the Centre in Gothenburg are particularly focused on molecular medicine for metabolic and degenerative diseases, neuroscience, inflammation, and cancer as well as life science chemistry. The Centre has to date recruited 27 young researchers within these areas who contribute to the center. More information about our research groups and ongoing research activities within our focus areas can be found at www.wcmtm.gu.se
