Christer Betsholtz awarded the Eric K. Fernström major Nordic Prize
He is rewarded for his research into vascular structure and function, where his work has significantly contributed to the understanding of how blood vessel cells cooperate to form and maintain a functional blood vasculature.
Christer Betsholtz is a leading vascular researcher and has charted the communication between different types of cells in the blood vessels and studied how they develop and form. His current research focuses on cell types that are located along larger blood vessels in the brain and their role during normal development, in the mature and ageing brain and in diseases.
The Eric K. Fernström major Nordic Prize is awarded an outstanding medical researcher from one of the Nordic countries. The prize is awarded by the the Eric K.
