Back to the business

The summer holiday is almost over for all of us now and I hope everyone had a nice break! I know that I had, since I was struggling to get motivated to start to work again, and those who know me well, it's pretty unusual! 😎 During my holidays, I, of course had to submit one grant application that was announced just few days before my holidays and typical to my summer holidays, take care of one manuscript revision. But luckily, we got it done, thanks to the active co-authors (!) and here you can read about our latest achievements. Its about anti-viral drug ganciclovir and how its use together with another chemotherapeutic drug, methotrexate, can improve cytotoxic effects in cancer cells, since ganciclovir inhibits a specific efflux proteins and thus methotrexate from transporting out of the cancer cells.

We have a lot coming on in the next months also. Firstly, we are organizing an online conference, under the NordicPOP University Hub called "Prodrug technology and Continuous processing workshops & Meeting with FinPharmaNet for graduate students" on 26-27th of August, 2021. There is still time to register for the event, so please have a look on the schedule and see the great speakers who we are hosting, at least for the prodrug part:
