The group leaders at WCMM investigate aspects of molecular medicine within infection biology, cancer, neuroscience and metabolic disorders including diabetes. The 13 Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellows are recruited on tenure track positions. Four 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% research time.
