Kick-off Immuno-Gut (spin-off LymphChip Helpathon)

maart 30, 2024

The kick-off meeting of Immuno-Gut took place on March 28, 2024 at the Mirai House home of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology of LUMC.

This project is financed with a phase 1 Create2Solve grant from ZonMw and aims at the optimization and standardization of methods to produce serum and Matrigel free iPSC derived immune competent intestine via an intra- and inter-laboratory validation study. Sue Gibbs from Amsterdam UMC, location VUMc coordinates this project in a collaboration with LUMC and NCardia.

The foundation for this project was laid during the LymphChip Helpathon #8 on finding animal-free alternatives for fetal calf serum and Matrigel that was held in May 2023 in Amsterdam.

During this kick-off Initial results were shared and action points were discussed.
