Part of a national effort to reposition Sweden as a world-leading life science nation.

The Wallenberg Center for Molecular and Translational Medicine conducts basic and clinical research in the fields of metabolism, neuroscience, cancer, inflammation, degenerative diseases, genomics and life science chemistry. 20 research groups are looking for answers to some of the most important questions in medicine. Each group is led by a young group leader with special interest in translational molecular medicine.
 
Most of the group leaders have been recruited internationally and receive a generous startup package and the possibilities to build and maintain a successful research group.
