Utrecht proves itself a pivotal driver of regenerative medicine
|
|
|
|
Printing tissues, or bioprinting, is a rapidly emerging form of tissue replacement therapy with great potential. The European Union is therefore investing heavily in research to make these treatments available to patients. In the latest round, the EU is investing in six major projects, five of which having a link with Utrecht, bringing around €6mln to UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University. This underlines the importance of Regenerative Medicine Utrecht for Europe, and the potential of bioprinting for patients.

3D-printed medication: personalized for every child
|
|
|
|
The pharmacy at the Princess Máxima Center is ready to launch a groundbreaking innovation: 3D printing of medication. Many orally administered medications were developed for adults and are not available in the right dosage for children. With this new technology, medication can be tailored precisely to the needs of a child with cancer, ensuring better adherence and more effective treatments. The implementation of 3D printing is possible thanks to cooperation with partners such as Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht and the company CurifyLabs.
