GÖTEBORG, Sweden, May 13, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- The Assar Gabrielsson Foundation has
nominated Angela Molinaro as the
winner in the basic science research category and Emilia Alfonzo Rodriguez as the winner in the
clinical research category. The scholarship recipients, who both do
research at the University of Gothenburg, are rewarded with SEK 100,000 each, which is paid to the
Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg as extra research grants.
"Angela Molinaro is awarded the
prize in the category of basic scientific research for her advanced
and innovative, experimental studies concerning PI3K signaling
linked to, among other things, cancer. The research shows
differences in the physiological effects of different PI3K
isoforms, as well as factors that can influence treatment with
PI3K-inhibiting substances. The results from the dissertation
provide new basic knowledge that in the long run can be used for
better treatment of cancer diseases," says Eva Forssell-Aronsson, professor at the
University of Gothenburg and
executive member of the Assar Gabrielsson Foundation in the
motivation.
"Emilia Alfonzo Rodriguez
receives the award in the category of clinical research for
clinically relevant and well-conducted studies concerning screening
and treatment of cervical and vaginal cancer. The research was
focused on the importance of screening and comparison between
different surgical methods. This knowledge can lead to clear
benefits for patients through better diagnosis and treatment of
these cancers," says Professor Eva
Forssell-Aronsson.
Assar Gabrielsson was one of
Volvo's founders. In accordance with his wishes, a fund was
established for clinical research of cancer diseases. The fund has
existed since 1962. It primarily supports research projects that
are considered promising but have not yet reached the weight that
provides funding from central funds.
The award ceremony for the prizes will be held at Sahlgrenska
University Hospital on Wednesday 18 May 09.15-11.30, Stammen, Blå
stråket 6, Sahlgrenska US, Gothenburg. The event is held in English.
