Johan Rockberg honoured by the Novo Nordisk Foundation

Johan Rockberg has been awarded the title of “Distinguished Innovator” by the Novo Nordisk Foundation along with 11 million Swedish kronor in research funding. The money will go towards further development of the gene therapy platform developed by Rockberg’s research team to enable targeted treatment of kidney diseases.

“Chronic kidney disease affects more than 800 million people, and a third of cases are caused by DNA mutations that could be cured with an effective gene therapy,” Rockberg says.

A new organisation for the handling of docent applications

At the Faculty Board meeting on 26 August 2026, Andrea Eriksson, Chair of the Docent Committee, presented changes to the Committee's working organization and to the process for obtaining the title of docent. The Faculty Board had previously tasked the Committee with reviewing and improving the process for handling docent applications.

"We want the process of having the scientific and pedagogical qualifications required for a docent title assessed to be as clear, efficient, and swift as possible," says Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto, teacher representative on the CBH Faculty Board.
