Linn Renborg, PhD student at the Institute of Biomedicine and specialist physician at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, has received Pfizer’s and the Swedish Society of Infectious Diseases’ scholarship for clinical research in infectious diseases. She shares the award with Camilla Lorant at the Academic Hospital in Uppsala. The scholarship of SEK 75,000 was awarded at this year’s Infection Week/Microbiology spring meeting in Halmstad on May 25.
– I feel very happy and honored to be part of this scholarship. People with HIV are a group I am especially passionate about and it feels good that they are being noticed. I hope that my continued research on HIV in the central nervous system will benefit patients in the future, says Linn Renborg.
