This is the website of OBOE, a strategic research center for Organic
Bioelectronics, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF).

OBOE consists of research groups from Linköping University, Acreo and
Karolinska Institutet, aiming to combine cutting edge engineering with
biomedicine to develop novel and groundbreaking approaches in life sciences.

Current Events

E-Slides in the Venture Cup and Innovationsbron:
Anders Hentzell, Edwin Jager, Magnus Berggren and Agneta Richter-Dahlfors were awarded a top ten position for their business idea at the Venture Cup Öst award ceremony on 10 December. The plan aims to commercialize e-slides, an outcome of the OBOE project, as a novel platform for cell biology experiments. The idea was also granted 100.000 SEK from Innovationsbron to investigate the commercial possibilities of e-slides, which will be coordinated by OBOE emloyee Anders Hentzell.

Project:  Cell lineage analysis

Multicellular organisms grow from a single egg to the adult by repeated cell division and differentiation. The adult organism consists of many different cell types organised in a complex morphology. All cells in an organism are clonally related to each other in a cell-lineage. Stem cell biology study how stem cells by division give rise to descendants which differentiate into cells of different types. In the Cell lineage-analysis project within OBOE we build system theoretic models of cells that will help us understand how the cell control their development from stem cell to differentiated cell types. We combine observations and experiments on live stem cells with system theory to better understand their development.
