There is a great need for this type of research position, where outstanding professors are given the opportunity to further develop their research. It is an important part of further strengthening Swedish research in the light of international developments. The professorship will promote internationally leading research in the field of medicine by enabling the holder to devote full-time to research for five years at a Swedish medical faculty. The holder of the professorship will be appointed on the basis of documented scientific quality of the research performed. Particular emphasis will be placed on research carried out during the last five-year period. The quality of the research program, the degree of innovation and the importance for the development of medical research will also be assessed. The grant will be used to fill a new five-year Academy Professorship in Medicine in 2024.
