Icosagen participates in several international and national research programmes and projects.
Enterprise Estonia is the largest institution implementing EU structural funds in Estonia for the national support system for entrepreneurship, research institutions, public and non-profit sectors.
INTENSO — Gaining Productivity, Cost Efficiency and Sustainability in the Downstream Processing of Bio Products by Novel Integration and Intensification StrategiesThe Intenso project is about identifying the bottlenecks in the currently used downstream processing methods, and finding new solutions to circumvent them. This is highly relevant for any and all biotechnical products, as downstream processes account for more than 80% of the manufacturing costs. The Intenso approach will not concentrate solely on the effectiveness of the new methods, but will strive to lead to a sustainable approach, factoring in risk management derived from economic, environmental, and social developments, also including government policies and legal constraints.
Project period: August 1, 2012 — January 31, 2017.

MAARS — Microbes in Allergy and Autoimmunity Related to the SkinMAARS is an international and multicentre study that explores the nature and duration of microbial stimuli and associated changes in the epithelial barrier leading to the development of skin-related allergy and autoimmunity. The aim of the study is to identify microbe-host-interaction networks involved in the development and persistence of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The project will pave the way for progress in prevention, new diagnostic strategies and treatment options for allergy and autoimmune related skin diseases.
Project period: April 1, 2011 — March 31, 2015.

EURIPRED — European Research Infrastructures for Poverty Related DiseasesEURIPRED is a collaborative infrastructure programme with the objective to reinforce the knowledge infrastructure across poverty related diseases. The overall goal of EURIPRED is to coordinate and integrate international resources into a single specialized infrastructure to support European HIV, Tuberculosis, Malaria and Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C studies from early drug, vaccine and microbicide discovery to clinical trials.
Project period: November 1, 2013 — October 31, 2017.

IcoCell — Chassis for Enhanced Mammalian Cell Line Development and Engineering
The opportunity to focus on the production of biopharmaceuticals is often taken from SMEs since huge amount of resources is required for the development of high-producer cell lines. We envision that our parental cell factories will increase the efficiency of cell line engineering and will effectively reduce the time-to-market for mammalian cell-based products. It allows SMEs to leverage their traditional strengths of adaptability and creativity, and to develop novel products for biotechnology industries.
Project period: April 1, 2015 — September 30, 2015.
The Archimedes Foundation was established by the Estonian government to coordinate and implement different international and national programmes and projects in the field of training, education and research. Archimedes Foundation granted projects are performed in collaboration with the University of Tartu.
