€ 1.4 million for the acceleration of VivArt-X research

The research by VivArt-X and its consortium partners can have a major impact on public health. One in seven women will get breast cancer at some point in her life. More than 50 percent opt for breast reconstruction. The new personalized method, in which the body’s own cells form healthy breast tissue, should result in fewer reoperations, better recovery, and a better quality of life after breast surgery.

In order to make the technology available to patients faster, VivArt-X will work with SBMC and TU/e for a period of three years. TU/e contributes its knowledge and facilities; SBMC will be responsible for accelerating product development and quality assurance. The screening of the new material and the improvement of cell-material interactions will be carried out in the development laboratory of SBMC, on the TU/e campus.
