Five researchers receive a Lundbeck Foundation postdoc grant
First four researchers form the Department of Biomedical Sciences received the news that they had been granted a Lundbeck postdoc fellowship and now a fifth researcher also received the happy news. The five researchers are; Andrea Sorrentino, Christoffer Goth, Meral Ilcim Thestrup, Luke Gamon and Viktoria Bågenholm.
Each year, the Lundbeck Foundation supports a number of talented researchers with original ideas within health sciences with a postdoc fellowship.
For the latest application round in November 2019, the Lundbeck Foundation received 248 applications and 34 projects now receive funding. This corresponds to a success rate of 13.7%.
From the Department of Biomedical Sciences, 13 researchers send in applications and five have received a postdoc grant which we can be very proud of.
