Receiving grants from the Swedish Research Council is viewed as a quality mark and one of the critical steps for young scientists to establish an independent research group. Last week, nine of MultiPark’s research leaders were awarded 31.6 million SEK for their projects.

This year’s support from the Swedish Research Council encouraged MultiPark’s ambition to be a multidisciplinary research area. Projects ranging from experimental investigations to clinical cohorts and health science-related questions received substantial support.

Congratulations to:

Maria Björkqvist, for her project “The brain or the body in Huntington's disease? The communication of the organ systems provides opportunities for treatment and biomarkers”.

Oxana Klementieva, for her project “Exploring the role of neuronal activity in amyloid aggregation in Alzheimer's disease using new biophysical tools”.

Cecilia Lundberg, for her project “Development of in vivo gene therapy to treat Parkinson's disease”.

Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren, for his project “Precision medicine for the diagnosis and prognosis of preclinical Alzheimer's disease with implications for clinical trials”.

Maria H Nilsson, for her project “Motor ACT: Motor aspects and activities in relation to cognitive impairment and pathological changes in the brain”

Malin Parmar, for her project “Circuitry repair in Parkinson's disease: From stem cell replacement to axonal targeting using stem cell models”.

Per Petersson, for his project “The function of corticostriatal circuits in the healthy and diseased brain”.

Laurent Roybon, for his project “Patient-induced pluripotent stem cells for multi-omics network-based stratification of synucleinopathies for personalized treatment”.

Daniella Rylander Ottosson, for her project “A self-healing brain for neurological disorders - turning brain resident glia cells into interneurons”.
