We are proud to announce that this year's list of highly cited researchers from Clarivate's includes Fredrik Bäckhed in two categories: Microbiology and Molecular Biology and Genetics. Valentina Tremaroli is listed amongst the highly cited in the researcher in the field of Microbiology 2025.

Clarivate’s list is based on citation data from the Web of Science and includes researchers whose publications rank among the top one percent most cited in their fields over the past decade. The number of listed researchers varies from year to year due to changing citation trends, adjustments in Clarivate’s methodology, and the influence of individual highly cited papers. In some cases, researchers with unusually high publication output are excluded to balance the selection.

The list should therefore be viewed as a snapshot of research impact rather than a lasting measure of scientific quality.
