The 'G2 Solutions' project, initiated by LIFE Cooperative, was officially awarded a grant by PharmaNL in August under their Shared Development Infrastructure program. This is the second grant we have received from PharmaNL this year, following the February 2024 award for the LIFE Academy under the Human Capital Growth program.

In collaboration with our partners Pivot Park Screening Centre, UMCG, and GenomeScan, this project will focus on developing new technology for improved disease diagnostics and advanced stem cell models to discover new drugs. We aim to make this technology available to academic and commercial partners, thereby collectively enhancing the availability of medicines in the Netherlands.

Strengthening the Dutch Pharmaceutical Sector

Peter Ketelaar, Director of LIFE Cooperative: "We are incredibly pleased and grateful for PharmaNL's grant. This recognition underscores the added value and importance of our regional ecosystem in strengthening the Dutch pharmaceutical sector. Through the 'G2 Solutions' project, we are taking a significant step forward in the development of innovative technologies and the acceleration of drug development. The shared use of advanced infrastructure allows us to work faster and more cost-effectively, ultimately contributing to better healthcare for everyone."
