MPS_NOVA

Mitigating chronic diseases and addressing infectious diseases are critical challenges in modern healthcare. Microphysiological systems (MPS) offer innovative solutions by mimicking human physiology and advancing precision medicine. However, Portugal's adoption of MPS lags due to high expertise requirements. To address this, MPS_NOVA, coordinated by Nova University Lisbon (UNL), will establish a European collaborative network with leading institutions like UKJ, MDC-BIMSB, and FHT. This partnership will enhance UNL's expertise, foster best practices, and upskill research managers through targeted training. MPS_NOVA aims to create a European Center of Excellence, driving advances in chronic disease research and benefiting both science and society.
