UUI acknowledges IGP researcher’s innovation project
Marika Nestor and Anja Mortensen receive the “Attractive Innovation Project" award 2019 for their project Anatycan – innovative method drives the development of drugs for the treatment of severe form of cancer.
In the project, the researchers have developed a targeting molecule that binds specifically to Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ASC). The method has demonstrated high and specific therapeutic effects on ASC in preclinical tumour models.
The award is presented by UU Innovation to acknowledge promising innovation projects that have been started by, or are run in collaboration with, researcher and students at Uppsala University. Fifteen projects receive this year’s award.
