Swedish-Danish research collaboration receives funding
New antivenom against venomous snakebites receives funding

The Danish company VenomAb IVS has been selected for funding within the initiative called Fehmarnbelt-Öresund TransTechTrans. VenomAb IVS will receive financial support to be able to go on secondment to the Skåne based company Capra Science Antibodies AB. The two companies will develop better and cheaper antivenoms against venomous snakebites in a joint research project. Globally, more than 5 million people become victims of snakebite each year, leading to serious damages including amputations and a high mortality rate."

This has been an eventful year for us at Capra Science. Here are some of the highlights:

- Capra Science has been awarded twice this year by the Swedish Board of Agriculture. This triggered a publication of several news articles about Capra Science in the Swedish press.
- During 2013, we have gained many new customers within the pharma and diagnostic industry.
-  Throughout the year, we have received excellent feed-back from our customers of numerous antibody projects. During the years, Capra Science has gained a solid track record in a wide spectrum of antibody projects.
- The expansion of our facilities in 2012 has enabled us to welcome larger antibody productions in 2013.
- Our attendance at conferences and meetings during 2013 has resulted in many valuable contacts, new potential partners and projects. Medica in Düsseldorf, Germany and NLSD in Stockholm, Sweden to mention a couple of successful meetings.
- We gained a successful renewal of the ISO 9001:2008 certification, our quality assurance system. 
- Capra Science has grown and employed more personnel in 2013/2014.

We look forward to all new interesting projects and new challenges that we will face in 2014. We would also like to take the opportunity to wish all our customers and collaborators all the best for 2014!

Greetings,
Lovisa Hessle Bergman
Managing Director of Capra Science

Capra Science is proud to announce that we have been awarded “The Innovation of the Year”, by the Swedish Board of Agriculture (Sv. Jordbruksverket) and the Rural Network (Sv. Landsbyggdsnätverket).

- This award means a lot to us at Capra Science.  We are proud and
happy that our hard work for a more natural animal care for antibody producing animals gets acknowledged, says Dr Lovisa Hessle Bergman, the managing director of Capra Science, who received the price in Stockholm at Berns on the 26th of November. 

Since 2007, this is the forth award Capra Science receives for their work with antibodies and animal care.
 
The jurys motivation, in Swedish, was as follows:
"Capra Sciences antikroppar produceras i en naturlig och ekologisk miljö. Getterna slipper laboratoriemiljön, kvaliteten och kvantiteten i produktionen har höjts och världsmarknaden väntar. Företagets verksamhet är unik och bidrar till skapandet av en forskningsorienterad landsbygd."
