On June 18, Sunresin will open the doors of its new European site in Uppsala, Sweden.

But this day is not only about a new facility.

It is about bringing the right people into the same room to talk about what comes next in bioprocessing, protein purification, pharmaceutical manufacturing, vaccines, and the next generation of agarose resin technologies.

The grand opening of Sunresin Sweden will be an exclusive one day event for selected customers, partners and industry guests. Places are limited, and only a few seats remain.

The agenda has been designed around one idea: make the day useful, scientific and memorable.

A first look inside the new facility. A guided tour through Uppsala. A gala dinner at Miss Voon. And, at the center of the day, a scientific program with key invited speakers bringing different perspectives on the future of Life Sciences.

Five speakers. Five talks. All of them pointing in the same direction.

Where is bioprocessing heading? What does the next generation of purification look like? And what happens when the people who are actually shaping that future sit down in the same room?

We are about to find out.

The Speakers

Building the Bridge: Sunresin’s New Chapter in Europe by Hans J Johansson

Our General Manager in Uppsala opens the scientific programme with a talk on new products, the people behind them, and the mission and vision driving Sunresin's European chapter. Including the bridge between our R&D in China and what we are building here. Nobody knows this story better than Hans. And nobody tells it quite like him.

The Diversification of Molecular Structures and its Impact on the Future of Protein Purification by Jonathan Royce

Protein purification is no longer just about monoclonal antibodies. The pipeline has diversified. The molecules have gotten more complex. And the resins and processes designed to handle them need to keep up. Jonathan Royce will explore how this growing molecular diversity is shaping the future of protein purification.

Next-generation Mucosal Vaccines by Mats Lundgren

Vaccines are moving into new formats, new delivery approaches and new manufacturing challenges. Vaccines delivered through mucosal surfaces represent one of the most promising frontiers in immunology. Mats will walk through what that means scientifically, what the manufacturing challenges look like, and why this is a space worth paying close attention to right now.

This session will add a broader therapeutic perspective to the day, showing how innovation in Life Sciences is moving across disciplines and why manufacturing technologies need to keep pace.

The Transition into the Intelligent Future of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing by Tiago Matos

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is changing faster than most people expected. Digitalization, process intensification, continuous manufacturing. Tiago will talk about what that transition actually looks like in practice, and what it means for the people and companies navigating it.

For Sunresin, this topic connects directly with the way resin technologies must evolve: not only as materials, but as part of modern, data driven and scalable manufacturing processes.

The Atlas of the Human Building Blocks by Cecilia Lindskog

Cecilia's work sits at the intersection of proteomics, tissue biology and human disease. Her talk draws on one of the most ambitious mapping projects in life science, looking at the proteins that make up the human body and what understanding them means for medicine, diagnostics and drug development.

More than an opening

After the scientific sessions, we open the doors of the new facility for a guided tour. First look at the labs, the equipment, and the space where Sunresin's European story gets built.

The opening ceremony will follow, with representatives from the local council and the Chinese Embassy joining this important moment for Sunresin in Europe.

In the afternoon, guests will have the chance to discover Uppsala through a guided city tour. And in the evening, the day will close with a gala dinner at Miss Voon, one of the city’s most special venues.

June in Uppsala has its own kind of energy. Around this time of year, the city enjoys almost 19 hours of daylight. It feels like the right setting for a day built around science, people and what comes next.

Why this event matters

The opening of Sunresin Sweden is a milestone for the company.

It brings Sunresin closer to European customers and partners. It creates a new space for scientific exchange and application development. It strengthens the connection between global resin manufacturing and local technical collaboration.

Most importantly, it creates a place where conversations about the future of agarose resins can happen face to face.

And that is exactly what June 18 is about.

A new site. A strong scientific programme. A room full of people working on the future of bioprocessing.

If you work with protein purification, downstream processing, resin technologies or biopharmaceutical manufacturing, this is one of those days worth keeping in your calendar.

This is an exclusive event. Only a few seats are still available.
