Frida Tibblin Citron, Business Developer at Big Science Sweden, on how BiSS works actively and proactively on upcoming procurements from international research facilities. She recently gave a talk at Ideon Innovation’s regular breakfast meeting at Ideon Science Park in Lund. The engaged audience 🙌 mainly comprising representatives from start-ups, heard how 🇸🇪 Swedish industry and academia can benefit from Big Science research facilities through business, collaborations, various student programmes, and knowledge transfer. This is Big Science Sweden ▶ Business and Innovation We act as a bridge between the Big Science research organisations and Swedish industry, academia, and research institutes. We provide first-hand information on business and collaboration opportunities, and work actively to match Swedish companies with the research facilities' identified needs and current procurements. ▶ Knowledge Transfer Big Science Sweden creates value for Swedish industry and society by facilitating the transfer of new knowledge, technology, and expertise between Big Science and other areas of application. ▶ Outreach We provide information to Swedish students and professionals about careers development and openings offered by the Big Science research organisations. https://lnkd.in/eaK33ucn Catarina Sahlberg Fredrik Engelmark Amelie Hallin

We are excited to share that – in partnership with The Ohio State University, The Columbus Region, and Ohio Life Sciences – we've released a new report:  “Enabling Innovation: Unpacking the Urgent Need for Wet Lab Space in the Columbus Region”.  https://bit.ly/Mwl24   Written by third-party partner Shift Health, the report distills data and input from 25 key stakeholders to outline the urgent need for dedicated, modern wet labs space for the growing number of life sciences startups and corporations.   Below are a few of the report highlights:  - Columbus is a growing market and an emerging hub for life sciences companies at various stages. - There is a critical gap in wet lab space that could hinder the future growth of the Region’s burgeoning life sciences sector and economy. - The Columbus Region needs to develop a coordinated, long-term strategy for wet lab space, while looking at near-term opportunities to make progress.   Rev1 has been a longtime advocate for finding a solution for the lack of modern wet labs in our region and we are hopeful that this report and the strength in our collective message will pave the way for progress and ensure a better future for life sciences companies!

🔬💭 **Reflecting on Resilience: A Validation Specialist's Perspective** 💭🔬 As a former Validation Specialist, news of the freezer malfunction at Karolinska Institutet hits close to home. 💔 The loss of decades' worth of research samples serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of meticulous calibration and qualification of controlled temperature units (CTUs), including cryo/liquid N2 freezers. Throughout my career, I've spent countless hours ensuring the accuracy and reliability of these vital tools. The mishap at KI not only underscores the critical nature of our work but also gives me a new perspective on the impact of every validation and revalidation effort. But amidst the pain of this loss, I can't help but reflect on the joy and fulfillment I found in the precision of calibration, especially when calibrating my KAYE TCs with IRTD and liquid N2. There's something uniquely satisfying and cool (pun intended) about ensuring the integrity of these instruments that play such a crucial role in scientific discovery. Let's use this moment to reaffirm our commitment to excellence in validation and qualification processes. Let's honor the dedication of the researchers affected by this tragedy by redoubling our efforts to uphold the highest standards in our work. Together, let's continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in biotech research. 💪🌟 Share your thoughts and reflections below. How has your past experience shaped your perspective on the recent events at KI? Let's spark a meaningful conversation and support one another in our shared journey of scientific discovery. 💬🚀 #ValidationSpecialist #BiotechResearch #CalibrationExcellence #ScientificDiscovery #Reflections #CommunitySupport

🔬🌟 Celebrating Resilience: Turning Setbacks into Success Stories 🌟🔬 In the world of biotech research, setbacks are inevitable, but it's how we respond to them that defines our success. 💪💡 Recent news of the freezer malfunction at Karolinska Institutet (KI) serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the scientific community. Despite the loss of decades' worth of research samples, we've seen researchers and institutions come together, united in their commitment to overcome challenges and drive progress forward. 🚀💬 👉 How can the biotech community come together to support affected researchers and institutions? 👉 What measures do you think research institutions can take to safeguard against similar incidents? 👉 Share your own experiences or ideas for improving research sample storage and management! Together, let's show the world that setbacks are not roadblocks but stepping stones on the path to scientific discovery and advancement. 🌟💪 #BiotechSuccessStories #resilience #innovation #scientificdiscovery #overcomingadversity #inspiration

🎉 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗶𝗲𝗵𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 and contribution to 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! I am very proud of Victoria S. Niehues, who has successfully completed her pre-defense for the Tinbergen Institute's MPhil with flying colors! 🌟 In her thesis, Victoria combines high academic rigor with great data to help solve a highly practical and important issue for the #pharmaceuticalindustry: How to learn and continuously improve new drug launches (#launchexcellence). Victoria's contribution is twofold. First, she offers a rigorous, concise and practical definition of ‘launch excellence’, that promises much-needed clarification and consistency for the practice. Second, she proposes a sophisticated econometric model that addresses a long-standing challenge: How can we properly track and learn from past launch performances (and to do so, she analyzed hundreds of new drug launches in the last years in the US). We are excited that Victoria will continue her promising research with us at Marketing Science @ESE, further enriching her thesis during her PhD dissertation. Special thanks to her co-supervisor Vardit Landsman, and to the pre-defense committee (Francesca Sotgiu, Vardit Landsman, and Nuno Almeida Camacho). Let's celebrate this milestone and look forward to more impactful research! 🚀 #PharmaceuticalMarketingScience #LaunchExcellence #MarketingScience #ESE
