In Flemingsberg, we cure diseases that were previously considered incurable

Earlier this year we hosted the most meaningful ATMP event of the spring, in collaboration with Miltenyi Biotec and the Karolinska ATMP Center, Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet. We gathered over 120 participants, all sharing a vision of creating momentum to accelerate access to ATMPs in the Nordics.

”It’s fantastic, it’s a great opportunity to learn more about what’s going on at Karolinska and for the whole ATMP environment. From the Pre GMP to the manufacturing, to then the clinical trials that they offer here, and I think that’s one of the things that are really unique about the whole Flemingsberg ATMP ecosystem” – Jonathan Clarke, Development Manager at SmartCella.

During the event we launched ATMP Flemingsberg, a platform that encapsulates all the expertise within ATMP in Flemingsberg, from research to clinical implementation.

”We have everything in Flemingsberg and you can see that because they come here from Uppsala and other parts of the world to manufacture their products and do their treatments here” – Ewa Ellis, ATMP coordinator at Karolinska University Hospital.

The seminar shed light on Pre-GMP and GMP, as well as how to advance one’s process to the next level and how Vecura can assist in scaling up. Additionally, Stefan Mielke, an expert in the field, discussed equal access and emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts to make therapies more accessible to patients. Di Yu from Elicera Therapeutics also shared their journey, which began at Vecura in Flemingsberg.

“Clinical trials are very important because they bring innovation to our patients. For those of you who don’t know what CAR-T cells are, they are like glasses for T-cells, so that they can see tumor cells.” – Stephan Mielke, Professor and Scientific Director of the Cancer Center.

Watch our film below, summarizing our successful event. Together, we can accelerate access to ATMPs in the Nordics.

A national resource for tomorrow’s treatments – Karolinska ATMP Center is now inaugurated

With a clear message of hope for the future and a powerful spirit of collaboration, the Karolinska ATMP Center in Flemingsberg was inaugurated at the end of August. The center is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital and will serve as a national resource for the production of advanced therapies (ATMPs), where research, clinical trials, and treatments work seamlessly together to deliver groundbreaking therapies to patients.

Meetings That Shape the Future: Flemingsberg Science at Almedalen

In June this year, the foundation took part in the annual Almedalen Week, the world’s largest democratic meeting place for everyone who wants to join the discussions on current societal issues. This year, we had a special focus on Life Science, an area and cluster that has long been a natural part of Flemingsberg, and which is now growing stronger than ever.

Meet us at NLSDays

In the south of Stockholm you’ll find Flemingsberg, home to a vibrant life science cluster that’s rapidly emerging as an attractive location for life science companies. Here, academia, business and society form a dynamic ecosystem, fueling innovation and growth. And with more companies establishing and collaborations further deepening, the opportunity to expand and invest have never been greater. This year, we are therefore participating in NLSDays in Gothenburg, where we will showcase Flemingsberg's unique strengths and invite more stakeholders to become part of our thriving life science environment.
