"We are in a time where a single type of data or information is often not sufficient to learn about human biology," says Jochen Schwenk in a recent Inside Precision Medicine interview ↓ Thomas Sakmar of The Rockefeller University added, "Translating basic science into the clinic is not easy, especially in the #DrugDiscovery space where it takes years or even decades to develop a new drug. But what we’re trying to do with our projects is not developing a new drug per se—it’s about developing a platform technology and disseminating data that can be used to rethink how drugs could be developed."

“Normally our DNA is tightly packed into a round nucleus, but Ana and Xue manage to capture this cell with a pretty heart-shaped nucleus” says Bennie Lemmens – referring to Ana Agostinho, Application Expert within super-resolution microscopy at SciLifeLab and Xue Zhang, Postdoc in the Lemmens group. The image shows a replicating human epithelial cell with two different nascent DNA labels in cyan and magenta, which was imaged with super resolution microscopy (3D-SIM) at the SciLifeLab Advanced Light Microscopy unit. “We love microscopy and thanks to the cutting-edge imaging infrastructures at SciLifeLab we can develop new methods and establish original views on human cell biology” says Bennie Lemmens, Group Leader at SciLifeLab & Karolinska Institutet.

Did you know DNA is this beautiful? Stay tuned for our 3D-SPARK technology Curious how we copy DNA? Do you wish to link your DNA fibre and DNA sequencing findings to cell biology or disease biomarkers? 🚀 3D-SPARK might be an approach for you. A method spearheaded by Bruno and Michael in the lab. PS. Normally our DNA is tightly packed into a round nucleus, but Ana and Xue manage to capture this cell with a pretty heart-shaped nucleus. #love #nature #dna #replication SciLifeLab Karolinska Institutet

Gisele Miranda is an image analyst who recently left her position at SciLife Lab Bioimage Informatics Facility (BIIF), part of Euro-BioImaging’s Swedish NMI Node, to start her own group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SciLifeLab. Her career path is a success story, highlighting her transition from core facility work back to research. Through deep involvement in expert communities and continued learning, Gisele Miranda shows that leaving active research is not always a one-way street. On the International Day of Women & Girls in Science, we highlight Gisele's inspiring story and wish her all of the best in her new role! We look forward to her continued contributions to the imaging community. #CareerPath #ImageAnalysts #WomenInScience  Read the full story here ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/d6t3_w3u

During the World #Cancer Day, last week, Nätverket mot Cancer organized an event highlighting how patients and their loved ones can maintain the best possible quality of life throughout all phases of the cancer experience. Talks and discussions on topics such as research, preventive efforts, early detection, optimized treatments, improved rehabilitation, from experts like Janne Lehtiö (SciLifeLab/Karolinska Institutet) and Richard Rosenquist Brandell (KI / Director at Genomic Medicine Sweden) can be found here (in Swedish) ↓ https://lnkd.in/g3n9uaVn

"If we detect #cancer early, we have a much better chance of curing it completely, and this means dramatic changes for these patient groups," says Mathias Uhlen to TV4 about detecting cancers at an earlier stage using blood-based biomarkers. Researchers at SciLifeLab and the Human Protein Atlas have received 400 million SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to continue this development.

The world needs science, and science needs women. Tuesday is the International Day of Women & Girls in Science, an opportunity to commit to ending the stereotypes and discrimination that hold women and girls back from careers in science, tech, engineering and math. More women in science can contribute to solving some of humanity's most challenging problems. Yet, they remain under-represented and struggle to get recognition for their achievements. We can all do our part to draw attention to the systematic barriers and long-standing biases that continue to prevent girls and women from fulfilling their dreams and achieving their full potential.
