For those of you that maybe did not know, WCMM Lund has a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) composed of four internationally recognized experts. Two of them know the WCMM Centre quite well by now and the other two are just newly recruited. The role of the WCMM SAB is to provide strategic guidance and direction the WCMM Centre regarding scientific aspects, strategic directions and provides recommenda

An investigational stem cell-based therapy for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, STEM-PD, has been given regulatory approval for a Phase I/IIa clinical trial. Ethical approval of the trial has already been obtained from the Swedish Ethics Review Authority, and the STEM-PD team, led from Lund University in Sweden, is thereby ready to proceed with the trial. WCMM members Agnete Kirkeby and Gesin

Approximately 10–15 per cent of breast cancer cases do not respond to treatment with hormone therapy, which means that they are more aggressive and often recur. An international research team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has uncovered a way to treat these aggressive tumours through manipulation of t
