Research Collaborations
To stay at the forefront, AcouSort is continuously developing the acoustofluidic technology further together with universities and commercial partners.
AcouSome
Using AcouSort’s technologies and the thin-film actuation materials developed in BioWings to separate out exosomes from blood for research and future diagnostics.
The AcouSome team of companies and universities coordinated by AcouSort is funded by the European Innovation Council’s EIC Transition programme with 2.5 MEUR out of which 1.1 MEUR to AcouSort for this three-year project.
IndiCell
Development of a world leading innovation milieu for individualized induced pluripotent stem cell derived therapies, to lower the risks and overcome hurdles for the translation from basic science to innovations and further to clinical applications. The project includes partners within academia, health care and the commercial sector.
The project has received funding by Sweden’s Innovation Agency (Vinnova) through the Innovation milieus in precision Health 2021 program.
Centre for Advanced Medical Products (CAMP)
Development of cell processing together with universities and commercial partners.
The project is funded by Sweden’s Innovation Agency Vinnova.
