HumEn Upscaling human insulin-producing beta cell production by efficient differentiation and expansion of endoderm progenitors
Coordinator: KOBENHAVNS UNIVERSITET (DK)
Despite progress in producing beta cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in recent years, full differentiation cannot be obtained in vitro. The HumEn project hypothesises that a fundamental understanding of the coupling between endodermal progenitor expansion and differentiation is relevant for elucidating how to a) generate glucose-responsive beta cells from hPSCs in vitro, and b) generate sufficient number of beta cells to meet future clinical needs in cell therapy in diabetes. Thus, the overall aim of HumEn is to identify, understand, and expand human endodermal progenitors as a …
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2014-01-01 to 2017-12-31.
