As demand for personalized cell therapies grows, centralized manufacturing models face bottlenecks that limit patient access. Innovations are needed to enable point-of-care (POC) manufacturing, bringing the production process closer to patients, reducing costs and turnaround times. At Advanced Therapies Week 2024, we hosted an engaging panel on POC cell therapy innovations, featuring leaders like Boro Dropulić, Anthony Davies, Dorothea Ledergerber, Robert Hughes and Lee Buckler. They discussed the barriers and solutions needed to push POC forward, emphasizing the potential of technological advancements such as the microfluidic chip from SMART, and strategic collaborations, like the one of Galapagos and Blood Centers of America. In this blog, Peter Peumans and Rich Stoner dive deeper into how these innovations are reshaping the landscape of cell therapy - making life-saving treatments globally more accessible.

In a recent paper, published by researchers from KU Leuven and imec in Nano Letters, we present a noninvasive method to probe the superconducting state of nanostructures. Using a niobium resonator to study an aluminum loop, we demonstrate how changes in magnetic field, temperature, and loop dimensions affect the superconducting properties by shifting resonance frequencies. This technique allows us to detect subtle changes, known as phase slips, providing crucial insights into the behavior of superconducting nanodevices. Our findings open new avenues for advanced studies of quantum phenomena in superconducting materials. https://lnkd.in/eYCF5_tg

In a groundbreaking paper published in IEEE Electron Device Letters and co-authored by imec researchers, we present a novel approach to enhance the reliability of p-GaN HEMTs at high temperatures. Our innovative "Gate Within Active Area" (GWA) layout solution significantly improves the time to failure of the gate by preventing its exposure to nitrogen-implantation processes. This advancement ensures better performance under both DC and pulsed stress tests, making these devices more robust for high-temperature applications. This research marks a significant step forward in improving the reliability of power GaN devices. Full paper: hhttps://lnkd.in/e3zpSszK
