Researchers at Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet have presented a new screening approach that focuses on the identification of virus-specific morphological changes in virus-infected cells. The new method focuses on identifying the changes (morphological profiles) that the virus induces on the infected cells by using a modified version of the Cell Painting protocol, an established […]

SciLifeLab Group leader, Sara Mangsbo, Uppsala University, and her immunotherapeutic cancer vaccine delivery-platform, is now ready to leave the SciLifeLab Drug Discovery and Development platform (DDD). The immunotherapeutic cancer vaccine delivery platform is based on a new technique, called Adaptable Drug Affinity Conjugate (ADAC), that can help the immune system to detect “invisible” tumors and […]

The analysis provides facts and figures about commuting, workforce, investments, businesses and research in Medicon Valley, and it also highlights a crucial discussion about the unexploited collaboration potential in the region. The analysis, prepared by Øresundsinstituttet as part of the Interregproject Greater Copenhagen Life Science Analysis Initiative, shows for example that there are more than […]
