Welcome to Science for Lunch, hosted by Lonza Biologics, showcasing how they can partner with you in developing an ADC, monoclonal antibody, bispecific, or small molecule – particularly in the oncology field – from molecule design through de-risking and development to clinical manufacturing. ADCs represent a growing and complex class of therapeutics, presenting unique challenges yet offering significant benefits to patients. Bioconjugation is a critical component in the development of ADCs and other targeting and delivery agents. Early assessment of bioconjugation technology options, along with de-risking the payload, linker, and biologics targeting molecule, is essential for optimising the pathway to first-in-human studies.   Lonza Biologics is a fully integrated CDMO, providing innovative development and manufacturing services and technologies from late-phase drug discovery to market supply. Covering both drug substance and drug product across various molecule types, Lonza’s integrated approach and deep expertise offer unique advantages and real timeline optimisation.   Three key takeaways: - Discover early-phase drug development strategies - Connect in person with industry leaders - Learn from real-world examples   Speakers: - Raymond Donninger, MB ChB, Senior Director Commercial Development, Early Development Services - Raphael Frey, PhD, Director Commercial Development Bioconjugates - Mamiko Ninomiya, PhD, Project Leader, Preclinical Development Bioconjugates   For more information and registration, please click link in comment below.   #knowledgesharing #adc #cdmo #lifescience #sciencepark #lonza Lonza

The life science industry has evolved into one of Sweden’s most vital sectors, delivering significant societal value. Medicon Village stands out as a unique hub for life science innovation in southern Sweden, bringing together 180 companies, healthcare providers, and medical researchers from academia that collectively employ 2,800 people.   As part of our commitment to collaboration, we had the pleasure of welcoming Marlen Ottesen and Camilla Wifralius from the Healthcare Committee in Region Skåne today. Our discussion focused on how we can work together to address healthcare challenges and create the best possible conditions for our growing companies. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with the region in the coming years.   #lifescience #sciencepark Region Skåne

We sometimes forget just how much has been achieved by the many inspired members of our life science park since that windy inauguration day in January 2012, when the Medicon Village journey began.   Today, at AstraZeneca’s Senior and Alumni Association in Lund’s annual meeting, our Petter Hartman had the opportunity to reflect on some of the highlights and to share our perspective on where we stand today and where we are heading.   It has been a long time since AstraZeneca left Lund, and our site to entrepreneur Mats Paulsson, who, together with other visionary leaders, transformed a crisis into what is now the largest life science park in Scandinavia – a place where world-class research, innovation, and societal development meet to benefit human health and society. With 2,800 employees in 180 businesses representing a broad spectrum – from prevention and diagnostics to treatment and care.   #lifescience #sciencepark #draco #astra #astrazeneca

With its final application slot closing in June 2025, interested organisations should act quickly to take advantage of HALRIC’s extensive research infrastructure and collaborative network. The EU Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak co-financed project provides a unique opportunity for life science companies to accelerate innovation through fully funded industry pilot projects.   Within the HALRIC (The Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure Consortium) framework, Francesco Bez, Innovation Manager at Medicon Village, supports industrial stakeholders in life science by facilitating pilot project applications and ensuring efficient communication and synergy between partners. Please feel free to reach out to him at francesco.bez@mediconvillage.se.   Led by Lund University and Medicon Valley, HALRIC aims to foster collaborations between key stakeholders, including companies and hospitals in the region. The initiative enables the use of unique research techniques and expertise, enhancing engagement with small- and large-scale infrastructures such as MAX IV, ESS, EuXFEL, and DESY, through the support of collaborative pilot projects.   The consortium also focuses on developing prototype models to manage the vast amounts of electronic data generated by these highly specialised infrastructures. Additionally, it strengthens life science ecosystems and strategic dialogues between participating partners in Sweden (Lund University, Malmö University, MAX IV, ESS, Skåne University Hospital, Region Skåne, Medicon Village), Denmark (University of Copenhagen, Technical University of Denmark, Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark, Rigshospitalet/Region Hovedstaden, Medicon Valley Alliance), Germany, and Norway.   Link for details in comment below.   #lifescience #sciencepark HALRIC Hanseatic Life Science Research Infrastructure ConsortiumInterreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak | MAX IV Laboratory | European Spallation Source ERIC | European XFEL | DESY | Lund University | Malmö University | Skånes universitetssjukhus (Skåne University Hospital) | Region Skåne – utveckling & innovation | Medicon Valley Alliance

We hosted today’s Science for Breakfast ourselves to have the opportunity to share our perspective on where we, as the largest life science park in Scandinavia, stand today and where we are heading. We are optimistic about the road ahead and our ability to strengthen Medicon Village as one of the leading life science platforms for research and business in the Nordics. As we adapt to both new opportunities – thanks to our new laboratory building – and the turbulence in the market, we are adjusting our communication strategy slightly. This shift aims to build on our strong position as a dynamic life science park that supports both research and business while proactively attracting more talent, capital, and businesses to Medicon Village. Accordingly, our new key message is "Your Next Location", with "The largest life science park in Scandinavia" as a secondary message. To make it easier for our members and others who appreciate our life science park to act as ambassadors – attracting attention and potentially even new members to expand our community – we are now launching an ambassador programme. You can find documents and additional materials to help spread the word about who we are and the benefits of using Medicon Village as a platform for research and business growth at the link in the comment below.
