Technology Development Projects (TDPs)
The projects in the list below have been approved by the SciLifeLab board to receive TDP funding. Part of the funding came from the national SciLifeLab infrastructure funding, while most of it was contributed by the Strategic SciLifeLab funding (SFO) received by the four host universities KTH, KI, SU and UU.
Olli Kallioniemi, Director of SciLifeLab, explains the importance for SciLifeLab to support technology development and explore new technologies that could enable breakthrough discoveries to be made in the future
TDPs are one of the strategic initiatives to keep-up of SciLifeLab infrastructure at the cutting-edge, he says. This is a major collaborative effort between the national SciLifeLab organization and the host universities and I want to thank all of those who participated in writing and evaluation of the proposals. We wish good luck to the chosen projects in bringing cutting-edge molecular tools and capabilities to life scientists in Sweden and beyond.

Technology Development Projects at SciLifeLab Uppsala 2022-2023
The SciLifeLab committee Uppsala University has decided to identify and support local infrastructures or new technologies (Technology Development Projects, TDP’s) with the potential to be incorporated into national SciLifeLab platforms. The main goal is thus that TDP’s financed by SciLifeLab Uppsala will be able to apply to become national units incorporated into national platforms. The suggested infrastructures/techniques can be already existing or something that the applicants would like to establish and/or develop during the next 2 years (2022 and 2023).
