June 3 2022
On Friday, June 3rd, the ENLIGHT consortium came together at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. This meeting marked the first time the partners met in-person since the project kick-off in May 2021.
The day began with a welcome and project overview by the Project Coordinator, Riccardo Levato (UMCU). The leaders of the five scientific work packages then provided updates about their first year of progress:
- WP1 – Optogenetic control of cell fate – Andreas Hierholzer (ETH Zurich)
- WP2 – Matrix-mimetic bioresin – Jan-Philip Zegwaart (Rousselot)
- WP3 – Multi-wavelength tomographic bioprinter – Christophe Moser (EPFL)
- WP4 – Optogenetic volumetric bioprinting and culture of complex organoids – Riccardo Levato (UMCU)
- WP5 – Assessment and applications of the bioprinted functional organoids – Carmen Caiazza (UNA)
Following the scientific discussions, the consortium reviewed the status of exploitation and innovation potential of the ENLIGHT technology. The day concluded with a session on Responsible Research and Innovation given by Angela Simone (FGB).
A public summary of the first year of project progress will be available by August 2022.
