A new research center CIRCE at Lund University have been granted long-term funding from Forte and VR at the end of 2025. It is led by LUCC researchers Lao Saal and Sophia Zackrisson in the area of Women’s Health and Disease.

Obtaining such grant allows a systemic change in health care approach focusing on female health. It enables large-scale research on women’s cancers that bridges between disciplines and can contribute to more personalized cancer screening, earlier diagnosis, safer treatments, fairer access, and improved return to life after cancer. 

More details about the project and an interview with both center leaders can be found on the Faculty of Medicine website.
