Projectdetails

Introduction

The major roadblock in the commercialization of cell-derived products is the prolonged ex vivo culture period required to develop them.

Macromolecular Crowding

Macromolecular crowding (MMC), a biophysical phenomenon that increases the kinetics of biochemical reactions and biological processes by several orders of magnitude, allows for the accelerated development of cell-derived products.

Project Objectives

This project will exploit MMC in the development of cell-derived products through:

  1. Two technical work-packages
  2. Three commercial work-packages

These efforts aim to increase the international competitiveness of European-based biotech industries and create new employment, markets, and revenue.

Project Duration and Training

This 18-month interdisciplinary and intersectoral project will train one post-doctoral researcher at the forefront of scientific research and technological innovation.

Research Institution

The project will be carried out at University College Dublin, Ireland’s largest university, one of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities, and in the top 1% of universities worldwide.
