Looking back on a successful first experience of the BioEurope Spring Conference held in Barcelona for ExCulture. We had the opportunity to make many new and foster existing connections in the fermentation, manufacturing, clinical and regulatory fields. We look forward to following up with those in the coming weeks. Here's to future BioEurope partnering opportunities. Great to see such a large Dutch presence at the conference, centred with hollandbio and Health~Holland! 🇳🇱 🌷 #ExCulture #BioEurope #partnering #biotech #lifesciences #regulatory #clinical #manufacturing #netherlands #fermentation #heparin

Learn more about ExCulture's plans for the TKI MKB project that we were awarded from Health~Holland in their new article: https://lnkd.in/eZrvXAPb Thank you to our collaborators: Good Biomarker Sciences BV (GBS Leiden), LUMC, and EMC. Together, we're on a mission to develop an alternative to heparin with the support of Health~Holland.
Our first story is out now! ⚡️ This article is dedicated to the success of the pilot SME call. For this purpose, we spoke to colleague Jochem Christiaansen from Health~Holland and Robbert Wever from hollandbio, both involved in the setup of the call from the beginning. In addition, we invited Aisling Foley and Ilaria Poledri, founders of ExCulture for an interview to talk more about their experience as applicants within the pilot call. 🙌🏽 Below you will read a glimpse from the interview ✨ 'The over-subscribed call shows that there is an apparent need for this type of funding. This makes us think about how this need can be met through a different formula. I hope the SME call will become much larger with larger tickets to fulfill the funding need and really create the funding impact companies are waiting for,’ – Robbert Wever, hollandbio. 📈💪🏽 'The subsidy from the SME call comes at a great timing, it will generate a lot of progress and increase our understanding of this animal-free alternative heparin; including the production of the compounds, testing and validation according to the project pipeline. Part of the budget will also go towards machinery such as the bioreactor,' says Ilaria. 'We hope that in the near future, all of this will have helped us get another step closer to replacing heparin derived from animals,’ concludes Aisling Foley from ExCulture. 🌱🔬 Read the full story here https://lnkd.in/eZrvXAPb 👀 This year we are tackling our newsletters differently. Our Health~Holland Updates will be replaced by monthly stories. This approach allows us to more effectively address recent developments. Don’t want to miss a story?
