IGNITE Postdoc Fellow Program

Postdoctoral program designed to foster cutting-edge translational research

WCMM Lund is taking a significant step forward in training the new generation of young international, highly qualified postdoc candidates within the field of regenerative medicine with the launch of its IGNITE Postdoc Fellow Program. This initiative, funded by the Wallenberg Foundation, aims to support postdoctoral researchers in advancing innovative projects in regenerative medicine, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations across basic, translational, and clinical research.

About 

IGNITE Postdoc Fellow Program - Interdisciplinary Grants for Novel Innovation and Trainee Education is designed to foster cutting-edge translational research in collaboration between leading research groups at the WCMM Lund. 

We are excited to launch the WCMM IGNITE Postdoc Fellow Program -10 postdoctoral positions at the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine (WCMM Lund). These positions offer an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to transformative projects in the field of regenerative medicine while working in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and collaborative environment at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University and Region Skåne.

Projects

Each post-doc position is linked to one of 10 research projects, led by research groups within the WCMM with collaborations across Lund University and Region Skåne Hospital. 

The projects are translational in nature, addressing critical challenges in regenerative medicine through innovative science and impactful methodologies. The projects span a wide range of disciplines providing opportunities to make significant contributions within the fields cell and tissue regeneration and repair.
