welcome to the Christmas newsletter from Dynamic42. We look back on the past year, would like to share our highlights with you and share the latest news from our company.

We wish you a merry Christmas with your loved ones and a successful and healthy start into the new year!

The year 2022 finally brought us a large number of personal meetings again, especially at conferences and networking events. We are particularly pleased that research and development in the field of organ-on-chip technology benefit greatly from this exchange and that we have been able to take valuable impressions back to Jena after each event.

A special highlight for us was visiting the EUROoCS in Grenoble (France) as the most important congress of the European Network for Organ-on-a-Chip (OoC). As a board member of the society, our managing director Dr. Martin Raasch is committed to the promotion and further development of OoC research and also stated this at the conference. Furthermore, we presented our research results on different organ- and infection models. Meet us there also next year!

We also expanded our Dynamic42 Academy this year, a project that aims to strengthen the exchange between scientists in the OoC field and to pass on know-how. In the academy sessions participants learn how to handle our biotech chips and how to work with our highly developed in vitro organ models.

And last but not least we were able to take important steps forward in the development of our biotech chips and our organ models. There will also be exciting new pharma collaborations to be announced in early 2023. We will soon report news on both!

Here are a few more highlights:

• Publication with upcyte technologies: (Download the publication free of charge) We successfully completed a research project about the generation & characterization of expandable human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and their evaluation in our platform together with upcyte® hepatocytes. 
• Trademark application: Dynamic42 got confirmed for the registration of four trademarks at the German Patent and Trademark Office.
• 23rd EUSAAT Congress: We attended the annual conference in Linz where our doctoral student Tim Kaden presented a case study within our liver model and won a Young Scientist Travel Award.
• Investor Days: We participated in the Investor Days as one of the most important events for presentation and networking in Thuringia. We are always pleased to meet and connect with people who share our path.
• Coaching-Sessions: This year, Dr. Daniela Böttger-Schmidt and Cassandra Schlangen accompanied us with intensive coaching sessions on the topics of corporate and process management. They provided us with knowledge at a high business level and so we will start into the new year with anticipation and many valuable impulses.
