Description

It concerns the purchase of 3 new Zoë modules and a new Orb Hub for the Genetics department at the UMCG. In order to enable the valorization of the organ-on-chip technology within IPSomics, the outdated Emulate system that the Genetics department has used must be expanded and modernized in order to be able to continue and expand the work. The two old Zoë modules can no longer be maintained (are being phased out by Emulate) and will therefore permanently fail in case of technical problems. It is not possible to use an alternative platform. The Genetics department invested 7 years in the development of small intestine-on-chip and liver-on-chip on the Emulate system, which is currently the most widely used plug-and-play system in the world. The system is also used by the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA as a replacement for animal models. If we had to start over with setting up our models on other systems, it is expected that there will be a delay for years, which would be disastrous for the PhD programmes of 4 PhD students, and for the ‘flying start’ of iPsomics. In addition, the same system is present at the Groningen Microbiome Hub. Here, bacteria will be introduced to the system, which could also offer commercial opportunities in the future.
