3 questions with POROUS – an interview with the Potsdam Science Park Blog: “The opportunity to contribute to the health of many people around the world is our driver. It is also what convinced the jury”

“The opportunity to contribute to the health of many people around the world is our driver. It is also what convinced the jury”. The European Innovation Council Accelerator Grant is awarding POROUS from Potsdam Science Park with 2.5 million euros worth of funding. In the “Three questions with…”- interview for the Science Park Golm Blog Post, CEO Dr.-Ing. Pat.-Ing. Julia Eschenbrenner and CTO Jonas Massmann explain how they achieved this – and how the funding will change their work in the coming years.

Focus on Stronger Pig Bones
The Swiss breeding company Suisag, FBN Dummerstorf, and POROUS have launched the “PigBoneS” project to breed pigs with improved phosphorus utilization and stronger bones.

POROUS uses a non-invasive 3D ultrasound method to measure bone density and stability in slaughtered animals, primarily Swiss Large White pigs. The forefoot (metacarpus) serves as an indicator of bone health, complemented by blood analyses for phosphorus utilization markers. The aim is to identify genetic markers for these traits.

The project promotes bone health while reducing phosphorus excretion. It is supported by the Eureka Eurostars program, Innosuisse, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
