The group leaders at WCMM investigate aspects of molecular medicine within infection biology, cancer, neuroscience and metabolic disorders including diabetes.
The 16 Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellows are recruited on tenure track positions. Five of the Fellows are clinicians and combine their employment with clinical service at the University Hospital of Umeå. Several WCMM-associated researchers also belong to the centre, including clinicians with 50 percent research time. In total 18 WCMM-associated reserchers have belonged to the centre since the start 2015.
