On 17 June, the memorial run Spring Jemth was held in honour of Per Jemth, former head of department at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology.

More than 300 runners took part in the event, including around 90 from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology. The run was organised by Per’s running friends, among them Gustaf Granath.

At the time of writing, Spring Jemth has raised 67,000 Swedish kronor for cancer research, and there are hopes of organising the run again next year.
