IMMODGEL will host a symposium on the topic “Immunomodulation and immune engineering in regenerative medicine”, where all involved partners will present their most recent, relevant project-related results.
In addition, IMMODGEL and its scientific coordinator Protip Medical will (together with other organisations such as Johnson & Johnson Innovation and Catapult Cell and Gene Therapy) sponsor a Business Plan Competition in the evening of 27 June.
Implant surgery is frequently followed by adverse immune reactions, especially inflammation. During the last 3,5 years, the IMMODGEL project has been developing a system composed of chemical (hydrogel) and biological (immune system cells) elements to decrease immune response to implants. The design will be adjustable for any implant, medical device or transplant.
Furthermore, a diagnostic test has been developed to predict the patients´ specific immune responses to implant materials. The system´s chemical and physical properties will be modified accordingly to avoid implant rejection. IMMODGEL will for the first time allow implants to be personalised and to minimise adverse immune reactions.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
