In a collaborative effort, Chilean and international researchers led by GTech (from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences) are seeking to produce chemical compounds from renewable sources such as green hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

The team led by scientist Maroun Khoury, director of the IMPACT Center of Excellence at the University of the Andes, found that transferring mitochondria (the energy-producing organelles of cells) from mesenchymal stem cells to T cells can significantly increase their survival rates and their ability to fight cancer.
