"The main award went to Yvonne Lundberg Giwercman, a professor at Lund University's Faculty of Medicine, for developing a patient-specific IVF test that significantly improves fertility treatment outcomes. The test analyzes genetic data to tailor hormone therapies for individual patients-a capability that doesn't exist today. "Research shows that women receiving genetically adapted hormone therapy have a 38% higher chance of having a baby compared to those who don't," said Lundberg Giwercman. The innovation could make IVF treatments more effective and accessible for countless couples struggling with infertility."
"The honorary prize was awarded to Mattias Borg, Johannes Svensson, and Johan Lundgren, senior lecturers in Electromagnetism and Nanoelectronics at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering. Their team developed an infrared sensor technology that operates at room temperature, eliminating the need for expensive cryogenic cooling (typically below -150°C) required by current systems. This breakthrough enables large-scale, cost-effective monitoring of methane emissions, a critical tool for combating climate change."
Lund University and Sparbanken Skåne awarded the Future Innovation Prize, distributing €73,000 among this year's winners. The main prize recognized a patient-specific IVF test that analyzes genetic data to tailor hormone therapies, increasing treatment success; research shows genetically adapted hormone therapy raises the chance of having a baby by 38%. The IVF innovation could make fertility treatments more effective and accessible. The honorary prize recognized a room-temperature infrared sensor that removes the need for cryogenic cooling and enables large-scale, cost-effective methane monitoring. The sensor supports efforts to reduce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, to meet global temperature targets.
