Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation grants SEK 2.1 billion to 118 of Sweden's top researchers
"Our goal is to provide outstanding researchers in Sweden with unrestricted funds where they themselves choose what to research. We hope this enables daring and groundbreaking research," says Peter Wallenberg Jr, Chair of Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
Is it possible to stop “Addison's disease” and other autoimmune diseases?
That is the hope of Olle Kämpe, who is a clinical researcher at Karolinska Institutet. It is not known what initiates an auto immune reaction, just that it starts several years before the patients come to clinical care. Kämpe and his group has discovered that the immune system in all patients with Addison's disease reacted to the very same substance – the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. Kämpe and this team are working on a promising treatment for patients with Addison's. You’ll meet Olle Kämpe and his patient Eva Raffner.
