Good to know
WCMTM 10 years | The Wallenberg Centre for Translational and Molecular Medicine (WCMTM) was founded to support molecular and translational research – and this year we proudly celebrate 10 years of impact. Over the past decade, the centre has supported more than 30 research group leaders, and in recent years has also welcomed leaders within the national Data-Driven Life Science Program (DDLS). To mark this milestone, we invite you to connect with WCMTM researchers, explore how you can work with translational research, and learn about upcoming funding opportunities for all researchers at GU.
