This year´s Sjöberg Prize was awarded to professor Miriam Merad, Mount Sinai, USA. She has studied how cells in the innate immune system affect the body’s ability to fight tumours. Her discoveries have hugely contributed to making these cells a promising target for the development of new cancer therapies.
On 31 March, Miriam Merad will give her Prize Lecture at Karolinska Institutet, 11:00-11:45, followed by mingle and lunch. The lecture is organised by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and The Sjöberg Foundation, with support from Karolinska Institutet.
The event is free of charge and open to the public, registration is not required.
The Sjöberg Prize is awarded as a partnership between the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Sjöberg Foundation. The Sjöberg Foundation also finances the prize.
