Research into epilepsy, intestinal flora and blood clots in the heart will now receive a boost. Michael Mæng, Jakob Christensen and Christian Lodberg Hvas, all from the Department of Clinical Medicine, each receive a Borregaard Clinical Ascending Investigator grant of DKK ten million from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Six professors and four associate professors from Health will now help our understanding of everything from CRISPR/CAS gene editing and the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccination to cardiac arrest treatment, immunotherapy and chronic pain. They have all received grants from the Independent Research Fund Denmark to realise their research projects.

The Cardiovascular Network at Health currently has a little over two hundred members. The vast majority of them are senior (male) researchers, so now the steering committee is launching a charm offensive in the hunt for junior researchers – with women especially welcome – who ‘dare’ to challenge conventional thinking and engage in a network with big ambitions.

Three early career researchers – two from the Department of Clinical Medicine and one from the Department of Biomedicine – will now have the opportunity to delve further into their research on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and HIV. Each of them is a recipient of a postdoc grant from Lundbeck Foundation of around DKK 2.5 million.
