Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Tromsø

Welcome to the first GEOHYD Lunch Seminar Friday for the fall semester, the seminar is 25th of August @ 12:15 in Aud. 1, Geology building, or via video link using Zoom. The seminar is held by Varya Bazilova, Utrecht University.

We have developed a pump-less recirculation Organ-on-Chip (rOoC) platform that generates a directional gravity-driven flow. This platform can be adapted to various flow conditions and enables the study of endothelial lining, blood vessel sprouting, circulation of immune cells, pathogens or other particles, and incorporation of 3D cell models like organoids. Additionally, we have developed a computational model to predict shear stress and mass transport within the rOoC, allowing for customization of the platform for various use-cases.

The rOoC platform is very versatile and can be used to model for instance drug-induced liver-injury (DILI) that mimics the complex interaction between resident human stem cell-derived liver organoids (3D-HLO) and circulating immune cells. Moreover, we show the functional crosstalk between 3D-HLOs and human pancreatic islets to model the onset of type-2 diabetes.

Norway has a lower proportion of R&D than our Nordic neighbours and countries we like to compare ourselves to, measured as a percentage of GDP. The proportion of R&D carried out and financed by industry is particularly low. The government aims to do something about this and the goal is for R&D investment in the industry to reach two per cent of GDP by 2030. A strategy to achieve the goal is underway. The goal corresponds to almost a doubling in eight years – how can this be achieved?
