The LINXS Newsletter is out!
We are delighted to share highlights and views from LINXS and the Director Trevor Forsyth who is now busy meeting a large number of people and participating in many important events that promises an optimistic future.
Several new themes are now developing - New Materials, focusing on the development and characterisation of new materials for future applications in energy and sustainability, The Northern Lights for Food (NLF) theme and just recently the Integrated Pharmacology and Drug Design (IPDD) theme, with the core group membership including the Chief Scientific Officer and President of Pfizer, Mikael Dolsten.
It is encouraging to see that these are all of exceptionally quality, with participants from centres/groups all over Sweden and internationally. Two of them have grown out of the concluding themes – NLF from the original Imaging theme and IPDD from the Integrated Structural Biology theme, and that LINXS, as originally foreseen, is acting as an incubator for new scientific priority areas that have been identified by the scientific community. All of them are designed to make the best possible use of MAX-IV and ESS as well as the other national and international infrastructures to which Sweden subscribes, emphasising the importance of interdisciplinary research, with LINXS providing a lively and collaborative environment within which themes can develop and interact with each other.
