Preparing for a busy September

Full team

Unbelievable, but it has been 191 days since we had the full CarboHyde team together in person.

After completing 3 Bicyclos HEurope secondments, now we will enjoy a few months together before we depart again in the fall.

Now that Kristof is back too, he focuses on finishing his PhD and just tackled his practical defence.

A humanized mouse that mounts mature class-switched, hypermutated and neutralizing antibody responses

Scientists create first mouse model with complete, functional human immunesystem and a human-like gutmicrobiome that is capable of mounting specific antibody responses.

Such a model would have unlimited uses in pharma development. The work of Paolo Casali et al groundbreaking and will disrupt the animal models we use for efficacy and safety studies. How would you use this model first? I imagine studies with vaccines probably…

The first secondment at Bicyclos has been completed

Kristóf Felegyi just completed CarboHyde’s very first secondment under the scope of the Bicyclos HEurope project under the strong support of Csenge Anna Felegyi-Tóth.

Kristof worked for 5 months in the lab of Jose Manuel Garcia Fernandez under the supervision of Juanma Benito and created various cyclodextrin polymers that we will evaluate for gene and small molecule delivery.
😎
We appreciate the strong support and hospitality of CSIC and look forward to further collaborations.

As Kristof did not take a single photo in the lab, we can only trust he did not only do sightseeing in the wonderful city
