Ett centralstyrt KI är ett hot mot det medicinska universitetets globala position och strider mot regeringsformens krav om opartiskhet i statlig verksamhet, menar ett dussin professorer vid Karolinska institutet. Rekryteringar och uppsägningar har inte heller blir skötta på rätt sätt, menar de.
En ny metod för att studera arvsmassan är både billigare, snabbare och enklare än andra metoder, enligt forskarna från Lund och Danmark, som nyligen patenterat metoden.
Hjärnfonden har utsett årets anslag till beroendeforskning med stöd från Svenska Spel som under en femårsperiod tilldelar Hjärnfonden 25 miljoner kronor.
Forskningberedningen föreslår bland annat att ett elitprogram för yngre forskare, mer satsningar på riskprojekt och en ökad samverkan mellan näringsliv och akademi, ska göra Sverige konkurrenskraftigare. Ytterligare ett tjugotal förslag finns i dokumentet Forskning formar framtiden, som presenterades under onsdagen.
Forskare har utvecklat en ny metod som kan se om makromolekylsläkemedel för behandling av cancer hamnar rätt i tumörcellen. Med metoden hittade forskarteamet dessutom ett nytt sätt att studera cellens anatomi samt en ny transportväg för makromolekyler.
Professor Sophia Hober har fler järn i elden än de flesta. Hon är en av de mest framträdande forskarna i den viktiga kartläggningen av människans proteiner. Projektet går som tåget och förhoppningen är att resultaten ska rädda liv.
Små och mellanstora företag inom life science samlades på Café Opera för att ta reda på hur de ska välja samarbetspartners för en lyckad läkemedelsutveckling.
