hDMT seeks collaborators for €4M NWO-TTW Perspectief Program proposal

hDMT is the Dutch Organ-on-Chip consortium, with currently near 100 affiliated research leaders. hDMT’s researchers work in fourteen academic research institutions, university medical centers and biotechnology companies. They share their knowledge and expertise to develop Organ-on-Chip models, by integrating state-of-the-art human stem cell technologies and top level engineering with a wide variety of other disciplines. For further information, visit the website www.hdmt.technology.

The SMART Organ-on-Chip program involves the development of a versatile chip platform that includes many technical features that are typically missing in current Organ-on-Chip models. An important biological aspect will be the integration of microenvironments allowing the study of fibrosis in organ context. The SMART Organ-on-Chip will be of particular interest for the food and pharma industries and beyond. hDMT is seeking project partners from the private and public sectors to collaborate in designing and developing the SMART Organ-on-Chip.

Via this link you will find an outline of the SMART Organ-on-Chip program that hDMT researchers are developing, including a list of the researchers involved and contact information. We are seeking private and public sector parties interested in collaborating on this program. If you are interested in such collaboration, please contact one of the researchers involved. You can also contact the managing directors of hDMT for further information: Janny van den Eijnden-van Raaij (j.vandeneijnden@hdmt.technology; +316 1299 8074) or Mieke Schutte (m.schutte@hdmt.technology; +316 3988 8763).
