📢 Exciting News!🌟

We are thrilled to announce that Ebba Biotech will be attending the CVB Conference this week! 🎉

Come and talk to Smilla about the Amytracker product family. She will be in front of Hall B from the 19th-22nd of June.

See you there! 👋

Exciting Developments in amyloid Research

A recent preprint from the Nowick Laboratory at UC Irvine investigates an Aβ trimer with specific Aβl7-36 β-hairpins. The goal? The development of antibodies towards these structures. The study includes the use of Amytracker 680 for the detection of Aβ plaques in brain tissue. With Adam Kreutzer being a big fan of the easy implementation of the Amytracker molecules in his workflow. We, at Ebba Biotech are very excited to read the full article once it is published.

Read the Preprint: here and check out Adam's testimonial about Amytracker here.

Stay tuned for more product updates and innovations!

This May we had a very insightful and fruitful visit by Forum Scientium from Linköping University. Our goal was to give ourvistors insight into the life science industry, away from academia. Additionally to let them enjoy the sights at beautiful Karolinska Institute science park.

We really enjoyed our morning showing everyone around the office and telling them all about the work we do here at Ebba Biotech. They even got the opportunity to become Research Engineers for a day and brainstorm ideas to promote our products!

We wish all of our guests a promising future and hope to see them in the life sciences and academia soon!

Ebba Biotechs webinars can all be found in one place on our Youtube page! Learn more about various applications of the Optotracer molecules and how it shapes the future of fluorescent staining.

Ebba Biotech will be in Gothenburg next week for the #ADPD2023 conference! At Booth 49 you can chat to both Smilla and Hugo all about the Amytracker product family and how we are enhancing research for both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. We hope to see you all there!

We had the opportunity to really SHOW how Carbotrace works at the Cellulose Fibres Conference in Cologne, Germany this week 🌿 🔬

The conference highlighted the many uses of cellulose, emphasised the importance of recycled textiles, and new innovative natural materials.We had so much fun speaking about Carbotrace and gaining a deeper understanding of where the cellulose field is moving 🚀

It was particularly fun to add a couple of drops of our fluorescent molecule on the variou fibres that participants brought with them! 🧪 Leon Blanckart, for example, brought a beanie made out of hemp (worn by Hugo in the picture) and hemp fibres from different parts of the production process. So we decided to see what the hemp fibres look like when the cellulose is labeled with Carbotrace 540! Astonishingly beautiful! 😍

Thanks to the organizers at nova-Institut GmbH for putting together this great conference!

After three years as CEO at Ebba Biotech, Eva Halén is now stepping down and moving onto new adventures. Her incredible and diligent work over the past few years have built the foundations of the Ebba Biotech structure and the basis for its success. The entire team will miss her but look forward to follwing her journey at KTH Innvovations, helping new (younger 😉) start ups enter the business world.

Follwing her departure, Ebba Biotech's new leadership comes in the form of a co-management team with our Product Manager Dr. Susanne Löffler stepping up as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Smilla Huzell stepping up as the Chief Operations Officer (COO) at the Solna office. As of December 1st, these familiar faces with new responsibilities look forward to taking Ebba Biotech further.

Another week - another conference! This time John and Smilla hopped across the Baltic Sea to Riga in order to tell researchers at the ADAM9 conference for amyloid research 🧠🌈🔬

It was a treat to hear all the amazing research focusing on the various aspects of amyloids and their associated risks - the talks covered everything from traditional Alzheimer’s research to functional amyloids in other systems.

Even better for us - We were able to connect with both customers and leads alike who are interested in our alternative (enhanced!) fluorescent molecules like Amytracker

Thank you to the organisers and presenters 🤩 Our wish for ADAM10 in 2022? Seeing more Amytracker representation and less ThT 😉

What a weekend!

Hugo has spent the last couple of days in Helsinki checking out what the Nordic biorefinery industry has been (Kraft) cooking the last couple of years.

Hugo spent the last 3 days at the Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference 2022 in Helsinki getting to listen to experts and innovators in the field. He was also inspired by alot of up and coming scientists and engineers his own age who are striving towards a more sustainable and circular industrial sector.

"It was a pleasure to take part of a segment of the chemical industry I've previously had very little contact with! It was a fantastic opportunity to get to learn more about the industry and ask some pressing questions about how Carbotrace can be beneficial and what the deal with making money off lignin is."

For our Autumn webinar, we are excited to introduce Dr. Tharagan Kumar who will be presenting his work with Carbotrace in cancer diagnostics. A novel application of the molecules to create a workflow that has widespread effects and benefits for accessible and reliable healthcare all around the world.

Be sure to tune into our live webinar on the 21st of October at 3pm CEST.

The webinar titled "Cellulose in Cancer Diagnostics" describes how Dr. Kumar was able to develop a multilayered approach using Carbotrace to create a diagnostic tool for non invasive cancer diagnostics. Using the live tracking ability of Carbotrace, Dr. Kumar was able to track cellulose nanofibrils.

This is an event that you should not miss!

The seasons are changing - so is the Ebba team! 🎉

Please welcome our newest recruit to the Customer Support staff - Nora Herlin. Her role will be to take care of the office administration and handle the customer questions that come into our inbox.
