What makes the Stockholm-Uppsala life science cluster stand out on the global stage? At the Stockholm-Uppsala Life Science Conference this Thursday, SciLifeLab's Director Jan Ellenberg shared his view on this dynamic ecosystem, hear his comments in the clip below ↓ Thank you to Region Stockholm and Region Uppsala for organizing such an important event!
Om oss
SciLifeLab is a Swedish national center for molecular biosciences with focus on health and environmental research. The center combines frontline technical expertise with advanced knowledge of translational medicine and molecular bioscience. SciLifeLab was established in 2010 and appointed a national center in 2013 by the Swedish government. Four additional sites - Lund, Gothenburg, Linköping and Umeå - were appointed in 2021 in addition to the original two sites in Stockholm and Uppsala.

David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper have been awarded the 2024 Nobel prize in chemistry for their work in protein design and prediction. At SciLifeLab, researchers are building on these advances by developing AI-driven methods, such as enhanced versions of AlphaFold, to integrate computational predictions with experimental data from Cryo-EM and NMR. As a matter of fact, a paper published by among others Claudio Mirabello and Björn Nystedt titled "Unmasking AlphaFold to integrate experiments and predictions in multimeric complexes", was published in Nature Communications today! In the article below, Björn Nystedt (NBIS – National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, Uppsala universitet), Claudio Mirabello (NIBS, Linköpings universitet), Jens Carlsson (Uppsala universitet) and Bengt Persson (NBIS, Uppsala universitet) explain how these tools are supporting drug discovery and providing insights into protein-ligand interactions. Their work represents an important step in the application of AI for life science research.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their work in artificial intelligence, which is now a central technology at SciLifeLab, driving innovation in life sciences. “AI enables us to turn vast amounts of data into valuable knowledge,” says Ola Spjuth, Head of AI at SciLifeLab. AI is accelerating research across many fields, from predicting biological interactions to generating new scientific hypotheses. SciLifeLab is dedicated to helping researchers harness AI by providing tools for data management, access to high-performance computing, and AI model development. As AI continues to evolve rapidly, SciLifeLab remains committed to supporting life scientists in unlocking its full potential. Learn more about AI at SciLifeLab here ↓

The discovery of #microRNA is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2024. SciLifeLab researchers have developed several methods involving microRNA that are able to, for example, trace origins of tissue and even detect microRNA in single cells. During his PhD, SciLifeLab Fellow alumni Marc Friedländer worked with some of the first microRNA sequencing data ever generated. Since then, his research group – including for example Inna Biryukova and Vaishnovi Sekar – have recently found that microRNA can be used to accurately trace biological samples to their taxonomic origins and developed the first method to detect microRNA targets in single cells. Also, Masood Kamali-Moghaddams research group works on the development of molecular tools for the characterization of extracellular vesicles that are known vehicles for microRNAs and other macromolecules. “Using our methods we are currently establishing dedicated assays for multiplex detection of EV-born microRNA:s as diagnostic tools for several cancers” says Masood Kamali-Moghaddam, Professor in Molecular Diagnostics at Uppsala University and director of the SciLifeLab Clinical Proteomics and Immunology platform.

Accurate identification of disease-causing genetic alterations is crucial for refining the diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers. The SciLifeLab Clinical Genomics platform (CG) and Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) have developed a broad gene panel for myeloid malignancies, a large subgroup of blood cancers. This gene panel provides the basis for cost-effective and equitable diagnostics in Sweden and has already been used for analysis of 8,000 clinical samples. Read more and hear from Thoas Fioretos, Christina Orsmark Pietras, Lucia Cavelier & Tatjana Djureinovic Pandzic in the article below ↓

Call for Academic and Industrial PhD Projects in Data-driven Life Science The research school of the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), has recently launched two PhD project calls: one for academia and one for the industry. Project proposals in all four DDLS research areas, Epidemiology & Biology of infection, Cell and molecular biology, Evolution and biodiversity, and Precision Medicine and Diagnostics, are welcome. The calls are open to all researchers in Sweden and the funded projects should be in line with DDLS strategy and have a novel and original data-driven perspective, be of high scientific quality and combine the life science and data science topics.
