Assistant Professor Stine R\u00f8nholt from the LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen, 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 Stine R\u00f8nholt from the LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery receives the fellowship to develop her research project with a focus on new ways to treat chronic skin diseases, like eczema \u2013 or atopic dermatitis \u2013 directly on and into the affected parts of the skin. With this five-year research grant, Stine R\u00f8nholt will be able to strengthen her research group at the University of Copenhagen, specifically exploring \u201cionic liquids\u201d as a novel approach to treating skin disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stine R\u00f8nholt receives a LEO Foundation Dr Abildgaard Fellowship through the 2023 research theme, Skin Physiology and Cutaneous Drug Delivery.<\/em> Her skin research lends itself well to the theme, as she will develop a multimodal research platform to explore interactions between the skin barrier and local drug delivery systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
