Pioneering the future of healthcare

Bio/Microsystems Centre (B/MSC) is a Joint Innovation Centre created by TNO and University of Twente. Our purpose is to bridge the gap between biology and technology to advance inventions and turn them into innovations that generate value.

Through shared research and development projects with key stakeholders, B/MSC aims to take innovative biomicrosystems from concept to scalable application. We offer deep technological and biological expertise, industry insights, and facilities that help key stakeholders bridge the notorious Valley of Death.

Every biological/technological solution we develop is specifically designed to address our partners’ business needs and objectives. In this way, we accelerate time-to-market, remove barriers, and help to swiftly bring revolutionary technologies to the patients that can benefit from them.

Through key partnerships with academic researchers, technology developers, and industry stakeholders, B/MSC aims to build an effective ecosystem that enables advancement throughout the entire value chain. In addition to fundamental research and targeted projects, we are at the centre of a specific product value chain.
