General information

Short Summary
A research team is preparing a proposal under the Horizon Europe call “TOOL-01: Enhancing cell therapies with synthetic biology”. We are currently looking for a partner with expertise in cell engineering and functional in vitro validation to contribute to a work package focused on testing gene circuit behavior in relevant cell models. Experience in techniques such as FACS, qRT-PCR, immunostaining, and signal-response analysis is highly desirable.
Full Description
The project focuses on the development of an innovative therapeutic platform that combines synthetic biology tools with advanced in vitro disease models. The aim is to engineer programmable cell systems capable of responding to disease-specific signals in a controlled and precise manner. The proposed approach leverages recent advances in gene circuit design, cell-based delivery mechanisms, and microphysiological validation platforms, with a strong focus on translational potential in complex disease contexts such as those affecting the central nervous system.

Therefore, the university is looking for a partner related to the following subjects:

-One with expertise in AI-driven informatics and computational analysis,
-One with expertise in ethics and regulatory policymaking.
Advantages and Innovations
The project will offer a novel cell-based therapeutic approach designed to function within physiologically relevant microenvironments. By integrating synthetic biological systems into human-derived cellular platforms, it aims to overcome key limitations of conventional preclinical methods. This strategy will help reduce translational gaps, enable precise modulation of therapeutic responses, and support early identification of safety and efficacy parameters. Ultimately, the project aligns with the increasing need for ethical, next-generation therapeutic solutions that are more predictive, scalable, and compatible with regulatory pathways.
