FACULTY DAY 2021
The Faculty Day 2021 will offer presentations by Mats Martinell, leader of CRUSH Covid who has a central role in Pandemic Monitoring in Uppsala County, and Lina Nordquist, Associate Professor and Member of the Swedish Parliament, who will introduce the government research bill.
Margareta Hammarlund-Udenaes, Professor emerita of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, will provide perspectives from a long and fruitful career and Vice-rector Mats Larhed will moderate a panel discussion including a selection of current issues.

We are also very happy to welcome Dr Emma Frans, researcher and public educator who in 2019 received the Uppsala University Alumnus of the Year award for her "tireless work to increase resistance to misleading facts and fake news".
We will conclude the Faculty Day 2021 with dinner at Pharmen.
