Niclas Nilsson, Malin Graffner Nordberg och Lisa Ericsson 🇸🇪, ansvariga för innovationskontoren vid Lund University, Uppsala University och KTH Royal Institute of Technology har tagit fram en rapport över antal bolagsstarter sedan 2010, samt deras samlade ekonomiska effekt.   – Svenska universitet har avsevärd förmåga att bidra till att nya bolag skapas baserat på den forskning och utbildning som bedrivs. Rapporten visar på betydelsen av det tidiga stöd som universitetens innovationskontor och holdingbolag erbjuder forskare och studenter. Vi hoppas att den blir en språngbräda för fortsatt dialog om universitetens roll som motor för både tillväxt och en bredare samhällsnytta, säger Malin Graffner Nordberg vid UU Innovation.

Closing the day before Midsummer’s Eve with a delightful visit from the South Korean LINC 3.0 Project Group. Their mission to explore and gain insights into R&D initiatives, industry-academia collaboration, and startup incubation brought them to #Sweden and Uppsala University. A highlight of the visit was the engaging discussions with our esteemed researchers and innovators, Professor Urban Lundin and Professor Ulf Landegren. They generously shared their experiences on transforming groundbreaking research into viable businesses, emphasizing the crucial conditions and lessons learned in this process. A special thank you to Urban and Ulf for contributing to such an inspiring program. Your insights on creating applications and startups from research are invaluable.

Congratulations to Professor Cecilia Persson on winning the prestigious 2024 ScSB Research Award! 🌟 Your pioneering research in biomaterials and your dedication to bridging basic research with clinical applications are truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work! Teknik och naturvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet

Titta hit! Ett samarbete mellan Cancerfonden och projektet Siish - snabbare implementering av innovation i svensk hälso- och sjukvård skapar nya möjligheter för dig som forskare att ta dina resultat vidare mot faktisk användning inom hälso- och sjukvården nationellt. Nu öppnas ett pilotprogram för implementering riktat mot prevention och vårdvetenskap.   Läs mer och ansök senast 15 augusti: https://lnkd.in/dETH6sN5   Hillevi Englund, affärsrådgivare vid UU Innovation, säger så här om satsningen:   – Det här är en viktig pusselbit i stödet till forskare med innovativa lösningar för hälso- och sjukvården, och det är otroligt roligt att Cancerfonden väljer att vara pionjär i finansieringsfrågan för att överbrygga gapet mellan idé och implementering. Det här upplägget innebär också att vi på innovationskontoren runt om i Sverige kan tillämpa den modell för att dela kompetens och nätverk som vi tagit fram inom ramen för Siish-projektet. Tillsammans kommer vi kunna stötta forskningsbaserade innovationsprojekt ännu bättre! #siish #cancerfonden #forskning #innovation #finansiering #implementering

Ten years ago, the founders of Magström were still working full-time at the Ångström Laboratory of Uppsala University. Today, the company is poised to revolutionize the global hydropower market with its groundbreaking technology for magnetic balancing of generators. Excited to share this interview with two of the company's founders, J. José Pérez-Loya and Johan Abrahamsson, discussing their journey from inception to their ambitious future plans! https://lnkd.in/dU_mWknC #magstrom #activemagneticbalancing #hydropower #uppsalauniversity #innovation #spinout Teknik och naturvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet

Congratulations to the brilliant team at Rarity Bioscience 🎉 They have successfully closed a €6.5 million funding round, which will strongly support their dedicated efforts to democratize nucleic acid mutation detection, thereby improving clinical decisions and patient outcomes. Rarity Bioscience was founded in 2021 as a spin-out from Uppsala University to further develop and commercialize the superRCA assay technology.

Success continues for cancer researcher and innovator Marika Nestor, who is at the forefront of developing antibody-based molecular radiotherapy for cancer. She has now been granted SEK 18 million to collaborate with a national network of researchers and doctors to transition this pioneering treatment from the lab to the clinic. "Receiving a Flagship grant from the Sjöberg Foundation is an honor and an opportunity to make a real difference for cancer patients in Sweden," says Marika Nestor, Professor at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology. Professor Tobias Sjöblom, also at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, has been awarded a substantial multi-million SEK grant from the Sjöberg Foundation for a research collaboration focused on identifying blood proteins that can be used for early cancer detection. Congratulations on your impressive efforts and best of luck with your projects!
