Rådgivande kommittén
Rådgivande kommittén för stiftelsen består av en mängd experter inom en rad forskningsområden som tillsammans utgör grunden för det enorma arbete som utförs årligen när forskningsansökningar utvärderas. Denna grupp av experter går igenom alla inkomna ansökningar och betygsätter dem efter fastställda regler. Rådgivande kommittén ger sen sina rekommendationer till stiftelsens styrelse över vilka projekt som de anser är värda att finansiera med de medel som finns att tillgå.

Professor Valeriya Lyssenko
Lunds Universitet
Valeriya Lyssenko is Professor of Medicine at University of Bergen.
Dr Nils Wierup
Lunds Universitet
Nils Wierup is a biologist who defended his thesis on the novel islet hormones CART and ghrelin in 2005 at the Medical faculty at Lund University.
Dr Elisabeth Qvigstad
Oslo University Hospital
Elisabeth Qvigstad MD (1993, University of Science and Technology, Trondheim), Ph.D. (2003, University of Science and Technology, Trondheim), certified as Specialist in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology (2013).
Dr. Hanne Scholz
Oslo University Hospital and University of Oslo
Dr. Hanne Scholz is a main principle investigator at the Transplant Unit, Oslo University Hospital and at the Hybrid Technology Hub at the University in Oslo. She is the director of the human islet isolation facility serving clinical approved islet products for the beta cell replacement therapy program in Norway. Dr Scholz lab has built up significant experience in the area of cell isolation and transplantation with particular focus on human islets and human adult stem cells derived from different tissue sources such as adipose tissue, bone marrow, and placenta. The group aims to develop new strategies for clinical islet isolation and transplantation, improve patient outcomes and islet survival. Currently, Scholz group has developed new research interest within regenerative medicine, 3D bioprinting and creation of functional mini-pancreas for “organ on a chip” platforms. She is elected as councilor of IPITA and serve as the mentor of the IPITA Young Investigator Committee. Dr. Scholz has authored or co-authored more than 50 papers in peer review journals and contributed to several book chapters (h-index 25
Dr. Ola Hansson
Ola Hansson has a basic education in biology and received his PhD in experimental diabetes research in 2005. He is since 2013 associate professor of functional genomics, currently heading the research unit Genomics, Diabetes and Endocrinology at Lund university, Sweden. OH is also since 2018 an affiliated researcher at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), Helsinki University, Finland. The main research interest is to understand how genetic variation influences skeletal muscle function and whole-body metabolism - implications primarily for human health, but also for fundamental evolutionary questions. The overarching goal is to tailor, for the individual, the most beneficial exercise program to counteract genetic predisposition to metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes.
