Swedish top scientists to EMBO
Two Swedish top scientists will have a really good chance to influence European life science research from now on. One is from the Karolinska Institutet, and one is from the University of Uppsala.
EMBO currently have 1,300 members in Europe and 80 associate members from the rest of the world. All EMBO members are prominent researchers in their respective fields. As many as 48 of them have up until today been honoured with a Nobel Prize. A EMBO member is appointed for his or her lifetime, and a member has the prerogative to nominate new members. An EMBO member may also suggest topics for conferences and workshops, and participate in evaluation of applications submitted to the organization.
