Cancerforskare listas som supertalang

Cancerforskaren Sara Mangsbo har utsetts till en av de främsta av 101 supertalanger som listats av Veckans Affärer. Hon forskar om immunterapier mot cancer och är samtidigt en entreprenör, som både har startat och sålt bolag.

För tolfte året har Veckans Affärer utsett 101 supertalanger och på första plats bland entreprenörerna kommer Sara Mangsbo.
– Det känns överväldigande och inspirerande. Det är en möjlighet att synliggöra både det vi gör på universitetet och vad som kan komma ut ur det.
Hon är forskare vid institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap. 2014 grundade hon bolaget Immuneed tillsammans med sin dåvarande chef Thomas Tötterman och doktoranden Erika Fletcher, med bas i forskningen om immunterapier mot cancer.

The International Society of Pharmacometrics Technical Manuscript Award 2018

Dr Anne-Gaëlle Dosne and co-authors have received the International Society of Pharmacometrics Technical Manuscript Award 2018 for the manuscript “An automated sampling importance resampling procedure for estimating parameter uncertainty. Dosne AG, Bergstrand M, Karlsson MO. J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn. 2017;44(6):509-520. The goal of this technical manuscript award is to recognize an outstanding manuscript in innovation in analysis technique. Dr Dosne is a department alumni and defended her doctoral thesis in 2016.

A national centre of pharmaceutical drug research and pharmacy education!

The department is part of the only Faculty of Pharmacy in Sweden. We aim to provide an international and stimulating environment where researchers, teachers, postgraduate students, visiting researchers, students, technical and administrative staff can work together on issues relevant to future pharmaceutical drug development. Our education and research are conducted within several fields of modern life science. We also offer many courses and programmes!

All research is undertaken with the overall aim of increasing the knowledge about mechanisms of actions, kinetics and side-effects of pharmaceutical drugs in order to promote the development of effective and safe drugs. We are organised in a number of research groups working from the molecular level to population level and within several different disciplines. Teaching at the Department is conducted by professors, senior and junior lecturers as well as researchers and PhD students. The Department is centrally located within the large Uppsala University Biomedical Centre (BMC) and has around 110 employees as well as many scholarship holders and visiting researchers.

We are cooperating nationally and internationally with many universities and pharmaceutical drug companies in order to improve drug development and management as the basis for drug efficiency and safety.
