SciLifeLab Anubis

In this call, the Drug Discovery and Development Platform (DDD) at SciLifeLab is looking for new project proposals for drug discovery. DDD supports a project portfolio consisting of about 20 programs and we foresee a need to replenish our portfolio with 3-5 new programs this year. We are interested in programs with defined targets for diseases with medical needs. Therapeutic ideas based on technologies that can be extended to other targets and/or other indications are of special interest, i.e. therapeutic platform technologies, as are projects to develop therapeutic molecules with innovative mode-of-actions (e.g., targeted delivery or new modes-of-action for antisense oligonucleotides, small molecules, antibodies and/or proximity-inducers).

SciLifeLab´s strategic area, Pandemic Laboratory Preparedness (PLP), has decided to launch a call to support development and refinement of technologies and capabilities aimed to improve the national pandemic preparedness

Eligible applicants are either researchers from already established PLP units (grant recipients of the earlier PLP Calls), researchers at any swedish university with a strong track record in infection biology research relevant for pandemic preparedness, and researchers employed at SVA, FOI and FoHM that collaborate with one or several established PLP units. Collaborations within and across research units and governmental organizations are highly encouraged in general but each applicant can only be main applicant on one and co-applicant on one application. Projects must be performed in collaboration with a SciLifeLab infrastructure/platform to ensure sustainability for pandemic preparedness.

This call is part of the PALS initiative, supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

With this call, PALS wants to support and promote scientific interactions between fellows from the different PALS programs and/or from different centers. The supported collaborations can involve research or other related activities in all areas of the different programs such as molecular medicine or different areas of life science and can be technology-driven or datadriven projects from fundamental, preclinical, translational, and clinical scientists. The supported collaborations, either a research project or an event in Sweden, organized and coordinated jointly by the fellows, should:

• add novelty
• be innovative and cross-disciplinary
• aim for either or several of the following: technology development, knowledge transfer, data transfer

This annual call will support collaborations with funding in a span between 100.000 and 500.000 SEK (including indirect costs), the total annual sum awarded is 2 MSEK.

This call is open only for the infrastructure units of SciLifeLab.

Nomination for SciLifeLab Group Leaders 2025

Annual call for the procurement of common equipment to enhance and maintain the general research capabilities at Campus Solna. Applications for support of up to 1 mkr will be considered. Co-funding strategies are encouraged and RED grant support can be coupled with other financing to acquire equipment exceeding 1 mkr.

SciLifeLab aims to support events within the scope of our fields of research, open to participants from all over Sweden. We aim to encourage collaboration among and between SciLifeLab infrastructure and researchers, as well as with external organizations, and increase awareness of SciLifeLab to the broader research community in Sweden and abroad. A SciLifeLab infrastructure platform/unit or a SciLifeLab group leader must be the organizer or a visible co-organizer.

Detailed information about the call can be found in the document Event support 2026

Campus Solna is characterised by a research community actively pushing the envelope of what is technically possible to solve important and complex questions in biology. To address the constant challenge of maintaining and developing state-of-the-art technical infrastructures, seed funding for new initiatives is available.
