Earlier this year, The Impulse by Chiesi began a collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, one of the world’s leading medical universities, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Through this collaboration, Chiesi aims to accelerate research and development initiatives for respiratory diseases, rare diseases, diseases of prematurity, and other areas of specialty care.
Chiesi Group and KI will exchange ideas, expertise, and resources to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into tangible healthcare solutions. In the world of life sciences, the most transformative breakthroughs often begin as small, human-centric ideas. The Impulse recognises that these ideas, though often overlooked, have the potential to revolutionise patient care.
For researchers driven by a commitment to address real patient needs, The Impulse aims to serve as an ally, offering the resources, support, and platform necessary to turn visionary concepts into practical solutions.
More than just a funding source, The Impulse is a champion for a more compassionate healthcare system—one that places patients at the heart of every innovation. By aligning with The Impulse, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet can take their groundbreaking ideas beyond the lab, ensuring that their work not only advances medical science but also profoundly impacts the lives of patients who need it most.
The collaboration between The Impulse and the Karolinska Institutet is underpinned by a shared commitment to advancing medical science and improving patient care through joint research, development, and innovation efforts.
We believe that this partnership with such a world-renowned academic center of excellence will provide significant opportunities to not only accelerate our pipeline but to explore and establish novel innovative ways of working between academia and industry.
Fabrizio Conicella,
Vice President of Chiesi’s Center for Open Innovation and Competence.
With Chiesi’s global contribution and EIT Health’s vast network for innovation, we hope to be able to help catapult ideas from concept to creation, accelerating the delivery of transformative healthcare solutions.
This partnership offers future collaborators the chance to immerse themselves in a thriving ecosystem, where cutting-edge research, entrepreneurial spirit, and collaborative growth thrive. This is the pulse of healthcare’s future, inviting collaboration, innovation, and unwavering dedication to improving lives, this is where healthcare innovation begins.
