Very honored to receive a delegation from Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), led by Susan Coller Monarez, at Utrecht Science Park. We presented a selection of highlights of research and innovation from Utrecht Life Sciences. Innovations in medical technologies for diagnosis and therapy were presented by Peter Luijten and Jeroen de Ridder. Zsolt Sebestyen and Peter Brazda shared innovative and promising developments in cell and gene therapy. Joost van Duijn from the Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies (ICAT) and Paulina Nunez from Regenerative Medicine Utrecht showed examples in regenerative medicine supported by nice demo's in the lab. Carlo Alberto Paggi, PhD and Dustin Dopsa thanks for joining and sharing the propositions from chiron. Rachel Staley Grant, Andrew Moffat and Natasha Keylard thanks for your support in organizing the visit. Megan Frisk, Jenica Patterson, Jason R. and Nathan Parsons your contributions and feedback were highly appreciated. Looking forward to join forces in creating innovative and meaningful solutions in health(care)!

Last Friday, our colleagues, Aiko Ballardini and Anil Kumar Deshantri, PhD, presented at the KWF - Dutch Tumor Immunology Meeting in Utrecht. 🌟 They showcased how the expertise at Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies (ICAT) can help accelerate clinical translation of Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs) with a unique GMP Simulation Facility.  💡 Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies (ICAT)’s core team consists of specialists in viral vector and cell therapy production, assay development, GMP compliance, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs. This diverse expertise enables us to effectively advance the translation of ATMPs from bench to bedside. 🤝 Follow Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies (ICAT) for exciting updates! ✨ #KWFDTIM2024 #Cancerresearch #ICAT
