This year’s call received a large number of qualified applications from researchers at several leading Swedish universities and institutions. Of these, 21 project grants are granted, from SEK 100,000 and up, writes the Swedish Cancer and Allergy Fund in a press release.

The research now receiving support covers a wide range of areas, from precision medicine and new therapies for aggressive cancers to innovative efforts to prevent allergies in children.

With the grants, the Cancer and Allergy Fund hopes to contribute to vital breakthroughs in the fight against cancer and allergy diseases, which affect so many people every year.
