Infrastructure and Resources:

AcureOmics AB is an SME founded in 2007 and located in Umeå, Sweden. AcureOmics focus is personalized healthcare, biofluid profiling and systems biology research. AcureOmics’ metabolomics platform is based on years of pioneering work, developing analytical protocols and procedures, mass spectrometry engineering and data processing software development and works closely with a contract agreement with Umeå University the Swedish metabonomic nod, which is one of Sweden’s most comprehensive research universities, with close links with Uppsala University department of medicinal chemistry. The combined group includes 8 PIs with 10 ERs and 25 ESRs. The PIs directly involved in BOLD include:10a Johan Trygg (30%),  Associate Professor in chemometrics at Umeå University, whose expertise include method development and application of chemometrics. In 2008, he received the prestigious Elsevier Chemometrics award.10B Professor Torbjörn Lundstedt (30%, CEO at Acure Pharma AB), who is Professor in Chemometrics at Uppsala University. He has 20 years experience of drug development in the pharmaceutical industry (Pharmacia) as head of medicinal chemistry and director of SPOC.   He is the author of more than 100 publications in the areas of medicinal chemistry and chemometrics. He is also the inventor/Co-inventor to more than 100 granted patents and a number of pending patents from 25 different patent families.ESRs and ERs will have benefit of work with other members of the group (3% effort) Prof. Thomas Moritz, Prof. Johan Gottfries, Dr. Henrik Antti, and Prof. Michael Sjöström (all Chemistry department, Umeå University).
