Funding awarded to the ECBiG – MOSAIC 3D project

We are pleased to announce that, as part of the European Funds for a Modern Economy 2021-2027 Programme (FENG), Action 2.4 Research Infrastructure for a Modern Economy the team consisting of:

  • Prof. Marek Figlerowicz,
  • Natalia Koralewska, PhD
  • Ireneusz Stolarek, PhD
  • Robert Pękal, MSc, Eng.

has secured funding for the ECBG project – European Center for Bioinformatics and Genomics – MOSAIC 3D.

The aim of the project is to create a unique research infrastructure that enables the development of advanced 3D pre-clinical models (in vitro-3D) and their digital twins (in silico-3D), which will subsequently be used in translational research focused on oncological and cardiological diseases.

The project includes the acquisition of research equipment for cell culture, live-cell analysis, and biobanking, as well as expanding the ECBG resources with unique cell lines derived from biological material obtained from patients with selected cardiological and oncological diseases. Additionally, a service platform will be developed to support the creation and use of digital twins of cell and tissue models in biomedical research.

ECBG-MOSAIC 3D research infrastructure will integrate advanced technologies for 3D cell culturing, spatial analysis of gene expression at both the cellular and subcellular levels, and the creation of digital twins of biological systems using machine learning algorithms. The tools developed in this project will allow for multi-level modeling of the development of pathological states and therapy effects in live cells and their digital counterparts, opening new possibilities in biomedical research and supporting the development of personalized therapies. The users of the infrastructure developed in this project will include both national and international research institutions, healthcare units, and business entities from the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical sectors.

The total funding for the project amounts to PLN 52,746,351.03, including a grant amount of PLN 40,000,000. The project will be implemented from 2025 to 2028.
