BioMed X Launches XSeed Labs in the US with Boehringer Ingelheim - a New Model for Building an External Innovation Ecosystem on an Industry Campus - Seite 2

 

Within the XSeed Labs framework, the teams will focus on chronic fibroinflammatory disease hallmarks such as aberrant tissue repair, pathological matrix production, macrophage and fibroblast activation, as well as metabolic reprogramming. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying fibrosis as compared to normal wound healing, more complex and physiologically relevant disease models are needed. The new research group at XSeed Labs will focus on developing complex ex vivo tissue culture models to study this process to develop innovative therapies that significantly reduce the progression of fibrosis.

 

Life sciences researchers who are interested in becoming part of this new BioMed X team on the Boehringer Ingelheim Ridgefield campus are invited to respond to this international call for applications by submitting a project proposal via the BioMed X Career Space (https://career.bio.mx/call/2023-RDG-C01) before June 18, 2023.

 

About BioMed X and XSeed Labs

 

BioMed X is an independent research institute located on the campus of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, with a worldwide network of partner locations. Together with our partners, we identify big biomedical research challenges and provide creative solutions by combining global crowdsourcing with local incubation of the world's brightest early-career research talents. Each of the highly diverse research teams at BioMed X has access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure and is continuously guided by experienced mentors from academia and industry. At BioMed X, we combine the best of two worlds - academia and industry - and enable breakthrough innovation by making biomedical research more efficient, more agile, and more fun.

 

BioMed X started working with Boehringer Ingelheim in 2015 with a series of joint research projects hosted by the BioMed X Institute in Heidelberg, Germany. The new collaboration model - called XSeed Labs - entails an open innovation incubator embedded in the Boehringer Ingelheim Ridgefield campus in Connecticut, USA. The topic of the first research project within this new framework is wound healing and fibrosis.
