We are very excited to start a collaborative project with UMC Utrecht, Amsterdam UMC, Utrecht University and Zeiss microscopy to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the rare lung disease Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
Amsterdam UMC will contribute clinical knowledge of PCD, UMC Utrecht provides experience with cell models and therapies, and Utrecht University brings advanced microscopy expertise. We will add support on the automation of expansion microscopy, and Zeiss advises on light-sheet microscopy, including imaging expanded samples.
As part of this project, we will jointly employ a PhD student together with Utrecht University, strengthening our collaboration and involvement in active research.

This project is part of the larger PRO-LONG consortium, “Development and acceleration of innovative therapies for rare lung diseases”, funded by Health Holland.
