To meet this demand, Liv Eidsmo from Karolinska Institutet has been recruited as Executive Director at the <a href=\"https:\/\/sic.ku.dk\/\">LEO Foundation Skin Immunology Research Center<\/a> (SIC) and appointed Professor at UCPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSIC offers a seamless combination of basic research, clinical insights and cutting-edge knowledge and techniques that can be used to achieve groundbreaking results and thus contribute to a deeper understanding of the immunological mechanisms that drive human diseases in the skin. SIC brings together a critical mass of scientists tackling the same topic with a range of approaches and perspectives. My first priority will be to recruit new talent that complement the existing expertise and add synergy to the already strong faculty at SIC\u2019,\u201d Liv Eidsmo says. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rapid development and accessibility of technology and knowhow, SIC engages in unravelling the secrets of the skin by bringing together the knowledge of highly specialized laboratories, scientists and clinical practices. The center was established in 2019 with a grant of more than EUR 50 million from the LEO Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO of the LEO Foundation, Jesper Mailind, is delighted that Liv Eidsmo wants to come to Copenhagen as the center\u2019s Executive Director:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the LEO Foundation we strive to improve the understanding and treatment of skin diseases. Our grant to SIC is fully in line with this vision, and with Liv Eidsmo on board I am certain that SIC will develop towards becoming a global beacon for skin immunology research. Liv is a determined and internationally recognized researcher, who has demonstrated visionary leadership. We look very much forward to working with Liv Eidsmo in her new role,\u201d says Jesper Mailind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liv Eidsmo transitions into her professorship in 2021 and takes over responsibilities as Executive Director in September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>For me this position is a unique possibility to bring together scientists from different backgrounds to tackle the big challenges in skin immunology. I cannot imagine a more interesting place to work!\u201d she ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Liv Eidsmo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liv Eidsmo began her career as a MD-PhD student at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital. After that, she moved to a postdoc position at the University of Melbourne in Australia. She returned to Sweden to start up her own lab at Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) at Karolinska Institutet in parallel to clinical training in dermatology at Karolinska University Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-coal-color has-primary-peach-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/sic.ku.dk\/news\/2020\/ucph-recruits-new-director-for-international-skin-research-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Read more about Liv Eidsmo and SIC<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  [data-block_5f893bfad5f89] p {\n    column-count: 1;\n    column-gap: 30px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-cols text-cols-columns-1 text-cols align\" data-block_5fd1f5e7ee716>\n  \n\n<p><em>Photo: Stefan Zimmermann<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  [data-block_5fd1f5e7ee716] p {\n    column-count: 1;\n    column-gap: 30px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
