  • CAR-T cells
  • Mesenchymal stromal cells
  • Treg cells
  • T progenitors
  • Etc

Project management

Steps:

  • Assessment of the project and its development stage
  • Analysis of the manufacturing process and quality controls to be implemented
  • Drafting of contracts and quality agreements
  • Technology transfer
  • Drafting of regulatory dossiers
  • Trial set-up and batch manufacturing

Research infrastructure
