Attana Kinetics on Cells Course!

Revolutionary Swedish invention can potentially improve drug development! Attana AB introduces the Attana Cell 200 – the first system to permit real-time kinetic analysis of molecular interactions directly on cell surfaces, bringing drug development a step closer to the body.

Attana's collaborator at Gothenburg University, Dr. Sture Lindegren, is interviewed about a possible new cure for ovarian cancers. Using the Attana Cell 200 instrument, Dr. Lindegren and his team are testing antibodies as carriers of radionuclide that target cancer cells directly instead of affecting the whole body as current cancer therapies do.

Attana appears in Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, a regional German newspaper in association with the inauguration of the new “B CUBE” research labs of the Technische Universität Dresden. The new research labs are part of a large regional German investment for scientific research and innovative technologies. The Attana 200 appears here as one of B CUBE’s innovative biosensor technologies

Attana is one of the sponsor companies at the upcoming marcus evans Discovery Summit 2011 in Cannes, France, 21-23 March. Prior to the event marcus evans and Aastrup discuss in this interview the role biologics can play in speeding up drug discovery and subsequent stages.

Attana's Oscar Norberg participated in and presented at the Pacifichem conference in Hawaii at the end of last year. The presentation concerned photo-click immobilization on quartz crystal microbalance sensors for selective carbohydrate−protein interaction analyses, and received a lot of interest.

As any sports enthusiast knows, inspiration creates motivation for success. On a personal level, you don’t have to be inspired to get up at six in the morning to jog before work (you just need a desire to stay healthy), but if you are, you will not only notice that the sky is blue and the way the gravel crunches nicely under your shoes as you run; you will also look forward to...
