Participating companies and organisations

Affix labs   
Affix Labs is an innovative chemical company working on a new generation of safe products that repel insects without killing them. Our current product, Repeltec, is a non-toxic spray for clothes and surfaces that repels insects for up to 12 weeks. In our lab in Nijmegen, we continue to develop and patent new formulations to apply our technology to different environments. We're looking for students interested in green innovation in the summer/autumn of 2025 to help bring our vision to new markets.

Biolegio
For more than two decades, Biolegio has been a pioneer in the custom synthesis of oligonucleotides. We deliver reliable and high-quality synthetic DNA of up to 200 bases for life science applications.

During our presentations we will focus on different processes, the techniques that we use and the challenges that we face.

Bio-Prodict
Eiwitten vormen de basis van ontzettend veel biologische processen, van enzymatische reacties tot signaaltransducties of het herkennen van virussen. Er zijn dan ook ontzettend veel biotechnologische of pharmaceutische toepassingen waar eiwitten een sleutelrol spelen. Vaak doet een eiwit alleen nog niet precies wat nodig is voor een specifieke toepassing, waardoor veel specialistische research nodig is om tot een gewenst resultaat te komen. Door middel van complexe geaggregeerde eiwitdatasystemen in combinatie met state of the art Artificial Intelligence-technieken, ontwikkelen we bij Bio-Prodict nieuwe tools die researchers en bedrijven in staat stellen sneller, efficiënter en goedkoper hun doelen te bereiken.

In de presentatie zullen we een inkijkje geven in hoe wij dat precies doen.

Charles River Laboratories   
Binnen de Chemie afdeling van Charles River Laboratories voeren we verschillende analyses uit om  de eigenschappen van chemicaliën/medicijnen te bepalen. Tevens zijn wij betrokken bij analyses voor toxicologische studies. Met alle resultaten van deze analyses helpt Charles River bij de beoordeling van de veiligheid voor het gebruik van deze chemicaliën/medicijnen in onze samenleving. Hierbij maken we gebruik van verschillende analytische technieken op het gebied van de fysische chemie, analytische chemie en de (eco)-toxicologie. De presentatie zal gefocust zijn op de stagemogelijkheden die wij bieden binnen onze Chemie afdeling. Tijdens de presentatie geven wij ook tips voor het opstellen van een CV en motivatiebrief.

Crossfire Oncology  
Crossfire Oncology focuses on the discovery and development of next-generation kinase inhibitors to treat acquired drug resistance using our EPriL platform. Crossfire’s proprietary Energetically Privileged Ligands (EPriLs) are designed to interact with specific kinases with optimal entropic and enthalpic energy contributions. EPriLs have prolonged target residence times and due to that, EPriLs have been applied in affinity-based probes, that aid in the determination of target occupancy in tumours in phase 1 trials. Our unique EPriL concept can be easily expanded to effective E3 ligase mediated degraders (PROTACs) and Degrader Antibody Conjugates (DACs).

Crossfire’s expertise is tailored around the EPriL-platform and includes medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, cell-based and biochemical assay development, protein x-ray crystallography, and bioanalytics.
