Amongst the key voices at this year’s JPM Healthcare Conference in San Francisco was Ulf Hannelius, CEO of Diamyd Medical, who arrived with a clear strategic mission: preparing the global investment community for a potential paradign shift in the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

A new collaboration between OnDosis and Diamond Therapeutics aims to enable accurate, reproducible dosing in low-dose psilocybin research, supporting a Phase 2a study in generalized anxiety disorder.

Diamyd Medical has strengthened its manufacturing collaborations in Sweden through a long-term partnership with APL and a new strategic alliance with NorthX Biologics, supporting controlled scale-up and future commercialization in biologics.

Against the high-stakes backdrop of the 44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference held in San Francisco in January 2026, OnDosis CEO Martin Olovsson reveals how a decade of rigorous preparation and an "iPad-style" approach to precision dosing are paving the way for a major U.S. launch.

From personalized drug delivery to globally aligned clinical development, the article highlights what it takes to show up with intent in today’s capital-constrained market.

In this Corporate Insights, Julie Ames, President and CEO of The Cambridge Group, argues that JP Morgan Healthcare Week is not about visibility, but reputation. Drawing on deep experience advising life science leaders, she explains how JPM has become a high-signal stress test where strategic clarity, disciplined storytelling, and leadership judgment matter more than volume or hype. The piece outlines how companies are evaluated before, during, and after the week, and why those that arrive prepared build momentum long after JPM ends.

As the global life science community gathers for JPM Healthcare Conference Week, attention turns to where capital will flow next. Drawing on a recent Economist analysis, Anders Månsson examines Stockholm’s emergence as a European “capital of capital” — driven by stability, proximity between science and finance, and an innovation-led growth model.

Meet Tracy Humphries, one of our Accelerators, who shares her perspective on the evolving B2B buyer journey.
