We are very excited to announce that we have received a generous grant from Swedish Society for Medical Research (Svenska Sällskapet för Medicinsk Forskning, SSMF). SSMF’s Large Grant goes to promising young scientists who are establishing themselves as independent researchers. The grant totals SEK 6.8 million over 4 years.

- SSMF's grant means a lot for the research group. It is an endorsement of our project and it allows us to expand, says Thaher Pelaseyed.

- We will now be able to recruit talented postdocs and doctoral students who will address important questions regarding the function of transmembrane mucins in the intestine, says Thaher.
