The critical shift to single-cell formats in functional analyses of living cells

Project description

Innovative solution unlocking cell and immune therapy’s full potential

Challenges in analysing immune cells limit the potential of cell and immune therapy (CIT), as current methods often fail to account for their heterogeneity. Understanding immune cell functionality requires single-cell resolution, but existing technologies are impractical for CIT research and development. The EIC-funded Cellularity project aims to address this by developing Xplore, a single-cell analyser. Xplore is designed to screen, select, and expand immune cells based on their functionality and potency. This solution will offer higher throughput and sensitivity than current options. By unlocking CIT’s full potential, Xplore will enable more efficient development of personalised therapies to treat serious diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections.

Objective

The incredible potential of cell and immune therapy (CIT) is limited by technical challenges related to the standard analysis of immune cells in bulk, which neglects their heterogeneity. Single-cell functional resolution is essential to understand the full potential of immune cells. Current single-cell technologies are limited, low-throughput, high-cost and lack robustness, prohibitive for their implementation in CIT R&D, manufacturing and patient stratification. Samplix is developing Xplore, an all-in-one multiparameter single-cell analyser and sorter for screening, selection and expansion of immune cells based on functionality and potency. Xplore is a cost-effective solution that delivers higher throughput and sensitivity than current solutions, being compatible with CIT research workflows. Unlocking the full potential of CIT supports the faster and efficient development of new personalized therapies to treat serious diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and viral infections.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
