Prof. Timo Laaksonen receives the ERC Consolidator grant for his project that focuses on releasing pharmaceutical agents in a controlled way in the body using blue or ultraviolet light.(https://www.helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/elamantieteet/nanolaaketutkimukselle-eu-tason-miljoonarahoitus-laakeaine-vapautetaan-kohteessaan-sinisen-valon-avulla and https://www.helsinki.fi/en/news/life-science-news/significant-eu-funding-awarded-to-nanomedicine-research-blue-light-used-to-release-pharmaceutical-agents-at-the-target)

Prof. Kasper Dyrberg Rand receives the ERC grant for his project aimed at developing a new microchip technology called HDXchip that shall enable analysis of difficult protein systems of unprecedented complexity, which otherwise escape analysis from the technologies currently available.
