Grant Description:
FUJIFILM Biosciences is committed to supporting and investing in the future of scientific innovation. As part of that commitment, we are launching the first ever FUJIFILM Biosciences Disease Modeling Research Grant contest—where we will be awarding three researchers up to $5,000 USD worth of FUJIFILM Biosciences reagents to fund their study.
This research grant is designed to help accelerate breakthrough discoveries for innovative research projects by supplying scientists with high-quality materials that promote cell survival, stability, and reproducibility during model development and discovery research. We are looking to support bold ideas that bridge mechanistic insight and real-world impact in areas of focus such as:
- iPSC-based disease modeling
- 2D and 3D cell culture and organoid systems
- Functional assay development
- Translational disease research
