Vinnova's VINN-Verifiering wallet opens for Pernilla's project

Better diagnosis methods can reduce the risk of complications, at the same time as it cuts costs and reduces human suffering. Vinnova, Sweden's governmental innovation agency, acknowledges the potential in Pernilla Abrahamsson's unique microdialysis technique, which opens the door to faster, easier, and more accurate diagnostics of severely ill patients. This is why Vinnova has selected Pernilla's project, as one of 10 among a total of 48 applications, to gain VINN-verifiering financing. This means that the microdialysis project is granted financing for the first in a series of milestones. If the project reaches all future milestones, the project will be able to receive a total of 2 million SEK from Vinnova.
