When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

Researchers at Lund University have developed a new method to determine how the composition of proteins in blood changes in response to disease or organ damage. This could provide a deeper understanding of how diseases affect the body and be used to discover new biomarkers in the blood to aid in diagnosing complex medical conditions. Our organs consist of a variety of specific proteins that are vi

En tvåstegsmetod för att skilja godartade äggstocksförändringar från elakartad äggstockscancer har nu validerats på nästan 5000 patienter. Med hjälp av ultraljud och matematiska modeller, får läkaren hjälp att dela in patienterna i olika riskgrupper med förslag på åtgärder beroende på riskgrupp och prognos. Detta är ett stort steg framåt mot optimal vård av patienter med äggstockstumörer. Studien
