Stavros Giaglis, André Tiaden and Simone Häner-Massini were awarded the Innosuisse Innovation grant for their h3DSyn project on in vitro modeling of human arthropathies. The team has set out to create synovial organoids (h3DSyn) that accurately mimic the physiological and pathological conditions of synovitis. The Department of Biomedicine congratulates the entire team on this outstanding achievement and wishes them great success and perseverance in their upcoming research activities.

Figure 1: h3DSyn is a cutting-edge microsynovium which aims to advance the validation process of novel medications for arthropathies by emulating human joint inflammation, thus substantially improving the drug development process in academia or industry and tackling the limited predictive value of existing animal models. This bioprinted synovial organoid originates from primary synovial fibroblasts isolated from an osteoarthritis patient.
