Antonio Molinaro is awarded this year’s UEG Research Fellowship. The award is presented by United European Gastroenterology and involves a grant of 50,000 Euros to spend a year with a reputable research leader. For Antonio Molinaro, this means that he can spend twelve months at the Norwegian PSC Research Center at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital. There, he will investigate the mechanisms behind primary sclerosing cholangitis, which is a chronic liver disease and one of the most common causes of liver transplantation. Antonio Molinaro defended his dissertation in 2018 at the University of Gothenburg. He researches at the Wallenberg Laboratory at the Department of Medicine and works as a specialist at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

Akademiliv congratulates Anders Ståhlberg on his professorship in clinical genomics! His research group focuses on developing new treatments for sarcomas driven by fusion oncogenes and on developing new cancer diagnostics by analyzing blood-based biomarkers. The goal is to develop targeted therapies for sarcoma and to be able to tailor treatments over time to minimize overtreatment and undertreatment. To enable these goals, ultra-sensitive DNA and RNA analyzes are developed and used, and Anders Ståhlberg leads a Translational Genomic Platform that aims to implement these techniques in clinical routine. Anders Ståhlberg participates in teaching within the medical, dental and biomedical analysts program.

Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, Maryland) renames its initiative to promote diversity to the Gaston-Johansson Faculty of Excellence Program. Since the program was launched in 2015, the proportion of underrepresented minorities has risen by two percentage points, to ten percent in 2019. Fanny Gaston-Johansson is honored in this way since she was the first Black woman to become a tenured professor at Johns Hopkins, ie get a permanent research position. Prior to that, Fanny Gaston-Johansson was a professor at the University of Gothenburg.
“I believe that diversity among faculty researchers makes a big difference to how you talk to people, how you understand people and how you treat them”, comments Fanny Gaston-Johansson, now an emerita.

A research position is now being announced for a licensed and resident or specialist doctor with active research in one of the focus areas relevant to the Wallenberg Center for Molecular and Translational Medicine (WCMTM) at the University of Gothenburg (molecular medical aspects of metabolic and degenerative diseases, neuroscience , inflammation, cancer, genomics and life science chemistry). More than 20 research group leaders are working to strengthen translational research in a unified program within WCMTM, which over the past two years has also recruited two new research group leaders with a bioinformatics focus.
The position is a permanent employment with a 2-year research scope of 50%. Deadline for applications: July 31, 2022.
