Lindköping University joins ScanBalt
Lindköping University, Sweden, has decided to join ScanBalt. Professor Carl-Fredrik Mandenius, Head, Division of Biotechnology, says Due to the newly established acitvities of Lindköping University in the field of life sciences our participation in ScanBalt is important. With 16 new professorships in the Life Science Technology and BioMedicine Initiative there is a solid back ground for an active involvement with ScanBalt. Professor Carl-Fredrik Mandenius continues The increased interest from business life towards biotech and life sciences in Lindköping is demonstrated by the fact that new companies are being established in Lindköping Science Parks. We are therefore looking on ScanBalt with much optimism and hope to explore and exploit new possibilities for interaction with universities and business life in the ScanBalt BioRegion.
