28 April 08:15-09:00Umeå Biotech Incubator, Conference room "Skogen"

Welcome to a UBI House breakfast & seminar at Tvistevägen 48, in conference room "Skogen". UBI offers breakfast from 8.15, and the seminar starts at 8.30. 

Speaker: Christian Hedberg.
Seminar: Targeting Cryptosporidium: From Biology to Breakthrough
About: Cryptosporidiosis is a common and economically significant parasitic disease in livestock, particularly affecting newborn ruminants such as calves and lambs. The infection causes severe diarrhea, reduced growth, and long-term productivity losses, representing a major challenge for animal health and agriculture worldwide.

Professor Christian Hedberg at Umeå University is developing a new drug approach that targets a key metabolic pathway in the parasite Cryptosporidium.

In this seminar, he will describe the journey from early academic research to the current stage of development and commercialization  (the CryptoSafe project receives business development support from Umeå Biotech Incubator).

Registration deadline: Thursday, April 23 (you can sign up after this, but not for breakfast).

Participation fee: This event is sponsored by Umeå Biotech Incubator (UBI) with support from the European Union. There is no actual fee for participating. For delegates from the industry, state-aid/de-minimis will be accounted for corresponding to 50 SEK per person.

State aid & de-minimis: Umeå Biotech Incubator is obliged to account for activities they arrange, and support they provide, that are directed to specific companies or a group of companies where the receiving companies do not pay market price for the participation. The value of this support is accounted for as state-aid. 
Small amounts of State aid (‘de minimis’ aid) are exempted from State aid control, as they are deemed to have no impact on competition and trade in the internal market of the European Union (EU). De minimis aid indeed refers to small amounts of State aid to undertakings (companies) that do not have to be notified to the European Commission by the EU Member States.
The maximum amount is € 300,000 for each undertaking over 3 years.
De minimis can also be granted to large companies that are not entitled to larger sums of state-aid under Article 22.
