Ideas in action: Turning research into real-world impact

We will hear from two Faculty of Medicine researchers who have successfully combined research excellence with innovation:

• Annika Lexén will share insights from her research on mental health and her work leading the Generation Z project, developing digital solutions to support young adults’ well-being. 
• Lao Saal will present how his research led to the creation of SAGA Diagnostics, a company recently acquired by Roche. He will also speak on the development of a diagnostic test which is now implemented as a clinical routine on breast cancer patients. 

In addition, Cecilia Jädert (LU Innovation) and Christine Widstrand (LU Ventures) will give a brief introduction to how they support researchers in developing ideas and translating discoveries into real-world impact.

The event will conclude with a networking mingle with light refreshments, offering the opportunity to connect with fellow researchers, speakers, and representatives from LU Innovation and LU Ventures. During the mingle, a small exhibition will showcase innovations supported through their work.

We look forward to welcoming you to an afternoon of inspiration, ideas, and new opportunities!
