Per Augustsson was awarded MEUR 2.6 for his project "High-power ultrasound for multiparameter single-cell mechano-phenotyping", which will run between August 2025 to July 2030. Per is one of six awardees from Lund, and one of 14 from Sweden.

The project aims to develop ultrasound-based technology to identify and isolate rare cells in the blood by leveraging their unique mechanical properties. By focusing on circulating tumor cells in patients with metastatic cancer, the project seeks to enhance diagnostic and treatment capabilities for metastatic disease.
