Tatton Consulting supported Stevenage-based cell therapy manufacturing company Aglaris in its successful application to Eureka Eurostars Programme 2 , Call 9, awarded £250,617 by Innovate UK for the project Thermoresponsive Microcarriers for Mesenchymal Stem Cells Cultures.
About the funded R&D project
A Eureka Eurostars collaborative project developing thermoresponsive microcarriers for mesenchymal stem cell culture. Microcarriers give cells a surface to grow on in suspension; making them thermoresponsive allows cells to be released by temperature change rather than enzymatic digestion, which is gentler on the product.
