Projectdetails

Introduction

The iPYRO proposal is built upon the uniqueness of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and recent innovations in the farming of fully defined human macrophages (iMonoMac) using industry-compatible bioreactors.

Industry Need

Given the growing need for industrial macrophages, iPYRO sets an innovation in the forefront of drug safety evaluations, supplying a unique cell type that meets the expectations from industry and regulators.

Breakthrough Innovation

The breakthrough innovation of iPYRO will offer a superior, thus highly standardized, economically produced, and fully validated off-the-shelf macrophage-based cell product to revolutionize the safety of drugs and beyond.

Regulatory Compliance and Business Strategy

To maximize the outcome, iPYRO will assess the regulatory compliance while further streamlining the iMonoMac product for the envisioned spinout. This includes:

  1. Establishing a proper freedom-to-operate strategy
  2. Developing a suitable business model

Transition from Academia to Industry

The seminal iMonoMac platform, along with the unique IPR and established contacts to industrial and regulatory stakeholders, will pave the transition from academia to industry. This initiative will introduce, for the very first time, an iPSC-cell product for the drug safety market.
