Lectures and seminars Nicholson Lecture 2026
This year’s Nicholson Lecture at Karolinska Institutet will be given by Svetlana Mojsov, PhD, Lulu Chow Wang and Robin Chemers Neustein Research Associate Professor at The Rockefeller University.
Svetlana Mojsov is a biochemist whose research has been fundamental to the development of widely used treatments for diabetes and obesity. Her work focuses on how peptides and small proteins regulate physiological processes in health and disease.
Using her expertise in peptide chemistry and synthesis, Mojsov was central to the discovery and characterization of glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1), an incretin hormone produced in the gut that plays a key role in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism.
Her contributions laid the scientific foundation for GLP‑1–based therapies, which have transformed the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Refreshments will be served after the lecture
