15 December 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Assistant Professor Aida Hansen is among the three talented skin researchers who are the first to receive a LEO Foundation Dr Abildgaard Fellowship of DKK 12 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The LEO Foundation Dr Abildgaard Fellowships are a new LEO Foundation grant instrument \u2013 each fellowship worth DKK 12 million for a five-year period \u2013 established in 2023 to support skin research talents who have the ambition to establish or expand an independent research group at a not-for-profit Danish research institution, and who are also starting their careers as research leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assistant Professor Aida Hansen receives the fellowship for her skin research proposal, focusing on the role of extracellular vesicles in inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis. Aida Hansen\u2019s focus is inspired by her previous research which found that activated T cells secrete extracellular vesicles containing multiple pro-inflammatory molecules. With this five-year research grant, Aida Hansen will be able to establish a research group at the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aida Hansen receives a LEO Foundation Dr Abildgaard Fellowship through the 2023 research theme, Skin Immunology and Inflammatory Skin Diseases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
