MPS NOVA is a TWINNING proposal led by the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB NOVA) in collaboration with NOVA Medical School (NMS). MPS NOVA aims to establish a European Hub of Excellence in Microphysiological Systems (MPS) fuelled by pluripotent stem cell technologies to strengthen UNL´s Research and Innovation capacity.
MPS NOVA is centered on two key pillars:
I. the study of mechanisms of chronic diseases
II. the study of mechanisms of host-microbe interactions.
MPS NOVA brings together (i) in-house strong expertise in diverse biomedical research models at UNL; (ii) pioneering research in MPS systems at Universitätsklinikum Jena (UKJ, Germany); (iii) cutting-edge pluripotent stem cell technologies at Fondazione Human Technopole (FHT, Italy), and (iv) advanced integrative metabolomics and proteomics adapted to MPS at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC, Germany).
