University of Minnesota, Mayo Clinic sign research pact with Karolinska
Date:6/1/2010

as opposed to treating them, and encompasses chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, and degenerative diseases of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
  • Bio-Omics -- A phrase that includes several of the most promising fields of biomedical research, including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, all of which are strengths of the partnering institutions.
  • Immunity -- Relates to development of new or improved vaccines and therapeutic agents active against infectious agents that already devastate or threaten to devastate large numbers of people living in the developing world, such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.

    The three-way agreement was celebrated during a recent visit to Minnesota by Harriett Wallberg-Henriksson, M.D., Ph.D., president of the Karolinska Institute. She received an honorary degree from the University of Minnesota. The degree was conferred by University Regent Patricia Simmons, M.D., who was assisted by University President Robert Bruininks, Ph.D., and Mayo Clinic president and CEO, John Noseworthy, M.D.

    Background

    The Karolinska Institute -- founded 200 years ago this year -- recommends the laureates for the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology. Perhaps due to the state's Scandinavian heritage, Minnesota's research universities have more than 30 years of relationships, partnerships, exchanges, and joint projects with Karolinska that have resulted in joint publications, research grants, and discoveries that are aimed at improving the health of people worldwide.

    Renowned researchers from Karolinska have worked in the Minnesota labs of Robert Elde, Ph.D.; Alfred Michael, M.D.; and Gregory Vercellotti, M.D., while University and Mayo scientists, such as Peter Bitterman, M.D.; and Sree Nair, M.D., Ph.D., to name several, have benefited from research opportunities and time in Stockholm. Karolinska awarded an honorary degree to Dr. Nair in 2008.
