The Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine (WCMM) at Umeå University was established in 2015 as part of a national effort by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW) to strengthen life science-research in Sweden.
The celebration is open for employees, students, and the general public. The event is free of charge (limited number of seats).
