These metabolites represent the functional output of a highly complex multi-organism system and provide a real-time readout of microbiome\u2013host interactions. Although studying this crosstalk remains challenging, metabolite-focused approaches have revealed microbial products with direct clinical and translational relevance, particularly for metabolic disease.<\/p><p><em><b>Fredrik B\u00e4ckhed\u00a0<\/b>combines clinical oriented research with gnotobiotic mouse models to address the role of the normal gut microbiota in metabolic diseases. Fredrik B\u00e4ckhed holds a PhD in infectious biology from Karolinska Institutet and performed his postdoctoral training at Washington University in St Louis \u00a0where he identified the gut microbiota as an environmental factor that regulates adiposity and obesity. Fredrik joined the faculty at University of Gothenburg in 2006 where he is full professor. \u00a0He has also held guest\/parttime professorships at University of Copenhagen, University of Oslo, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Fudan University as well as performed a sabbatical at University of Hawaii.

the pivotal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials in 2020, despite being among the patients who experienced the worst COVID-19 outcomes. This gap created an urgent need to understand their responsiveness to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The three-year COVAXID clinical study initiated in early 2021 followed 539 immunocompromised and healthy individuals, characterizing their immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Participants across 21 subgroups provided serial samples for antibody, neutralization, and T-cell analyses against the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus and multiple later variants. Responses varied markedly across study groups. Early immunity was mainly vaccine-driven, while later responses reflected booster doses, infections, and passive antibodies from immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Findings support continued, individualized vaccination strategies and integrated immune monitoring for high-risk immunosuppressed populations.<\/p><p><em><b>Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren<\/b> earned his medical and doctoral degrees at Karolinska Institutet.

Our research demonstrates that vascular dysfunction is a key driver of CKD progression and associated cardiovascular complications. Using genetic, molecular, and disease models, we have shown how dysregulated angiopoietin signaling leads to endothelial instability, increased permeability, and microvascular loss in the kidney. These mechanistic insights have enabled development of therapeutic strategies targeting angiopoietin pathways to restore endothelial homeostasis, preserve kidney function, and reduce systemic cardiometabolic risk.<\/p><p><em>Dr<b>.

To slow or halt progression, we need to understand how tumour cells move, interact, and change state within brain tissue. We have developed Gliotrace, an ex vivo platform in which patient-derived glioblastoma cells are introduced into living brain explants or organoids and followed by long-term live imaging. A continuous AI-based analysis pipeline quantifies cell motility, plasticity, and cell\u2013cell interactions, combined with endogenous fluorescent tagging to track how candidate drugs reshape invasion behaviour.<\/p><p>This work provides a functional and dynamic view of tumour invasion at single-cell resolution, enabling systematic testing of therapies that aim to redirect tumour cell states and reduce invasive spread in a setting that is closer to patient biology than standard in vitro assays. Together with new evidence that reprogramming tumour cell plasticity can extend survival in mouse models [2], this positions Gliotrace as a new tool to support intervention-driven, dynamic analysis of tumour invasion.<br \/>I will also describe how we are building on this platform in the new, SSF-backed CNS\u00d73 centre, focused on dynamic modelling of brain disease and on integrating experimental systems with computational analysis to support more patient-proximal understanding and intervention.<\/p><p><em><b>Sven Nelander<\/b> is Professor of Integrative Cancer Research at Uppsala University. His group combines experimental and computational methods to probe brain-tumor plasticity and to develop tools for studying spatiotemporal processes in brain disease. Trained at Gothenburg University (PhD) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (postdoc), he has established a laboratory known for bridging mechanism and method.

Aqilion identified TAK1 as a high-value drug target due to its regulation of clinically validated inflammatory mediators including TNF\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, and TLR signaling across multiple disease indications. Following the return of this program from an early preclinical out-licensing agreement, Aqilion has advanced development of AQ128, a novel TAK1 inhibitor for psoriasis treatment. This presentation will cover the therapeutic rationale for TAK1 inhibition, key preclinical findings supporting AQ128&#8217;s progression, insights from our partnering experience, and the strategic considerations driving our commitment to this program.<\/p><p><em><b>Sarah Fredriksson<\/b> is a scientist turned entrepreneur.

In this talk, we will describe how HUB Organoids has translated adult stem cell\u2013derived organoid technology into a scalable, quality-controlled platform supporting drug discovery, translational research, and clinical development. HUB\u2019s biobank comprises well-annotated organoids across major cancer indications, preserving the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the original patient tumors. Foundational studies in breast cancer demonstrated that organoids capture both inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity and enable robust and reproducible drug response profiling across large patient cohorts. Importantly, recent clinical validation data show that PDO drug sensitivity correlates with patient responses to standard-of-care therapies in metastatic colorectal cancer, supporting the use of organoids as functional biomarkers. Together, these findings highlight how clinically grounded organoid platforms can de-risk drug development and support more informed translational and clinical decision-making.<\/p><p><em><strong>Robert Vries<\/strong> received his PhD in Biochemistry from the Leiden University Medical Center where he studied oncogenic cell transformation in the lab of Prof. van de Eb.

But as transplanted donor tissues are rejected by the patient\u2019s immune system, they are forced to rely on immunosuppressing medicine for the rest of their life. This leads to a significantly increased risk of infections and cancer, among other side effects. Consequently, new tissues are only used as a last resort, for life threatening conditions.<\/p><p>VERIGRAFT has developed a pioneering technique that uses autologous components from the recipient\u2019s blood to create personalized tissue-engineered veins (P-TEV) that can be implanted without the need for immunosuppressive drugs.\u00a0 These grafts have successfully been used in the recently completed TECVI-1, first-in-man clinical trial, in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).<\/p><p><em><strong>Dr. Tobias Hedberg<\/strong> is a Senior Tissue Engineer in the R&amp;D group at VERIGRAFT and has been in the company since 2017.

We have developed a novel class of synthetic antibiotics derived from a bicyclic thiazolo-2-pyridone scaffold that we have named GmPcides (Gram Positive Cides).\u00a0More than 300 analogues have been synthesized, a number of these novel GmPcides show antibacterial activity in the low micromolar range. The new\u00a0GmPcides\u00a0are bactericidal to MRSA resistant to last-resort antibiotics, such as daptomycin, as well as to non-dividing MRSA cells, such as preformed persisters. Importantly GmPcides showed favorable efficacy in a mice model of\u00a0<em>S. aureus<\/em>\u00a0murine skin and soft tissue infections and\u00a0the bacteria have so far been unable to develop resistance to this new generation GmPcides.

However, the effectiveness of many targeted therapies is often compromised by the development of drug resistance, underscoring the need for innovative strategies to address this challenge. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH), a frequent genetic event in cancer, can affect more than 20% of the genome in certain tumor types, leading to the loss of allelic variation in thousands of genes and creating genetic distinctions between tumor and normal cells. In our current work, we devise a strategy that targets the prevalence of loss-of-function alleles and LOH in cancer genomes. By leveraging tumor-specific loss of activity in one such target gene, CYP2D6, we identify a clinically approved drug with the potential to exploit this vulnerability. This opens the possibility for repurposing existing medications to treat cancers with unmet medical needs, using gene panel sequencing to guide precision medicine.<\/p><p><i>Xiaonan Zhang is a docent in Medical Molecular Biology.

Following that she moved into the adjacent translational clinical research facility to run a trials laboratory and facilitate cross-functional human experimental medicine studies. When an opportunity arose to address the unmet of need of kidney disease Julie moved to Novo Nordisk in Denmark to be their renal specialist. After 4y and a business reorganisation she moved to her current position at AstraZeneca Gothenburg. Here she is the disease area expert for renal and leads identification of novel drug targets.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63c10c7 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"63c10c7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96363ce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"96363ce\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0834c7f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0834c7f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcc1364 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bcc1364\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1708\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1944\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson.png 1708w, https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/nmevents.se\/bioscience-gothenburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/03\/Filip-Einarsson-1536x1536.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1708px) 100vw, 1708px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9e3b83 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a9e3b83\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6ddd36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a6ddd36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Current financial climate for the Swedish life science sector<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c11832 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c11832\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Filip Einarsson<\/h3><p>Equity Analyst &#8211; Life Science<br \/>Redeye<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c59d59e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c59d59e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Filip will talk about the current investor trends in the life science and healthcare sectors, highlighting what the industry has experienced during the last couple of years.

This paves the way for minimally invasive molecular diagnostics as most powerful means for early diagnostics of patients, treatment monitoring and surveillance. Many methods are already established based on classical biomarkers like cell-free DNA, proteins and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0098299719300950\">microRNAs<\/a>. In my talk I will present some new molecular biomarkers including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realseq.com\/\">RNA Fragmentomics<\/a>, hot-spot mutations, <a href=\"https:\/\/genome.cshlp.org\/content\/15\/10\/1388.short\">single cell profiling<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0098299724000359\">spatial transcriptomics<\/a>, including the discovery of the <a href=\"https:\/\/genomebiology.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s13059-024-03396-3\">Regeneration Initiating Cells<\/a> (RICs) that one day will make healing possible. I will also present a strategy to further enhance sensitivity and improve precision in molecular workflows by addressing the preanalytics.<\/p><p><em>Mikael was an early adopter of quantitative PCR (qPCR) and coauthored the <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/clinchem\/article\/55\/4\/611\/5631762\">MIQE guidelines<\/a> that are cited 3 times daily, he contributed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/obp\/ui#iso:std:iso:20395:ed-1:v1:en\">ISO guidelines<\/a>, and recently coauthored the <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1208\/s12248-023-00880-9\">AAPS recommendations<\/a> for cell and gene therapies. In 2001 Mikael cofounded <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TATAA_Biocenter\">TATAA Biocenter<\/a>, which under his leadership became Europe\u2019s leading provider of molecular service. His team introduced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fostertest.se\">NIPT<\/a> as the first liquid biopsy application in Sweden, and founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifegenomics.se\">Life Genomics<\/a>. He also co-founded <a href=\"https:\/\/simsendiagnostics.com\/\">SiMSen Diagnostics<\/a> for personalized cancer monitoring, and the bioinformatics company <a href=\"https:\/\/multid.se\/\">MultiD Analysis<\/a>. In 2023 TATAA Biocenter was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesciencesweden.se\/article\/view\/1078692\/failed_to_read_the_fine_print_lost_his_lifes_work\">taken from the founders<\/a>, who became persecuted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtid.se\/juridik\/riskkapitalisten-tog-hans-foretag-isolerad-hotad-och-stamd\/\">SLAPP<\/a> according to their lawyer.
