MakingBlood Engineering an integrated platform for generation of human blood stem cells from pluripotent sources
Coordinator: FUNDACIO INSTITUT HOSPITAL DEL MAR D INVESTIGACIONS MEDIQUES (ES)
Life-saving blood cell replacement depends on voluntary donors. Availability is a challenge for specific groups, and 25% of patients needing blood stem cell transplants lack a compatible donor. The ideal alternative is clinical-scale production of Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) from laboratory-maintained tissue-compatible sources, to provide an off-the-shelf source of blood cells. HSC are generated in the aorta/gonad/mesonephros region of the embryo, expand in the foetal liver, and are maintained in the bone marrow of adults. Current attempts to generate HSC in vitro do not consider the chan…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €9.9M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2025-07-01 to 2031-06-30.
