How can home diagnostic tests be made smarter? Researchers at the Department of Pharmacy at UiO have been working on this for a number of years, and they have developed a product that they want to take to the market. Guidance and seed funding from the UiO Growth House helped them move forward when the innovation process had stalled.
Labs are loaded with biological samples and data connected with the samples. The lack of a management system motivated employees at UiO start developing a system that they want to offer labs globally. Now they are working on a prototype that is ready to be tested in the spring. The UiO Growth House is supporting them on their way into the unknown business landscape, and innovation funding from UiO is giving them the opportunity to develop a robust software.
Six new projects have been admitted to UiO:Life Science's innovation programme for health-related life sciences, SPARK Norway. The teams will develop their ideas to products and solutions benefiting patients and society.
International political cooperation on issues such as climate, trade and health is becoming increasingly difficult. International standards developed quietly by experts have become an important alternative, new research shows.
23 projects have been granted funding to develop solutions to meet societal needs. We congratulate all the research groups!
A new technology for design of proteins could mean that boys and men with bleeding disorders no longer need to receive treatment as frequently as they do today. “This could have significant implications for patients and their families,” says professor Jan Terje Andersen.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are set to play a significant role in the future of drug development. Recent research has unveiled new insights into how these models should be supervised, using both so-called positive and negative data.
Can AI models be used to predict the risk of suicide attempts among youth? Yes, according to Haghish Fardzadeh, who has earned a doctorate on the topic.
ADHD in adults manifests differently than in children. A new test that reveals the extent of mind wandering may contribute to more accurate diagnoses.
The technology focuses on the delivery of subunit vaccines via mucosal surfaces, such as via a nasal spray. A recent study reports that the vaccine technology provides robust protection against infections with the coronavirus and influenza virus.
