NLS Invest Rising Star Awards
This year’s Awards are sponsored by SwedenBIO, the national industry organization for life sciences in Sweden, and BioInnovation Institute (BII) an international commercial foundation with a non-profit objective supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
For the category of Biotech/Pharma: the Swedish ApoGlyx has taken home the award for “developing small molecule inhibitors for Aquaporin-9. Aquaporins have been well recognized as important drug targets. Apoglyx’s most advanced approach targets sepsis, for which there is currently no cure.”
For the Medtech/Diagnostics category, the Norwegian Respinor is currently developing “a novel, non-invasive, ultrasound-based medical device for continuous diaphragm monitoring, with potential applications towards many aspects of critical care and respiratory medicine.”
