Course Description
Cell therapy refers to the transfer of autologous or allogeneic cellular material into a patient for medical purposes. It is developed to provide a concise overview of the essential elements to help one navigate the field. Cell therapy includes stem cell- and non–stem cell-based, unicellular and multicellular therapies, with different immune-phenotypic profiles, isolation techniques, mechanisms of action, and regulatory levels.
Following the steps of their predecessor cell therapies that have become established or commercialized, investigational and premarket approval-exempt cell therapies continue to provide patients with promising therapeutic benefits in different disease areas. So in this course, foundations of cellular therapy will be discussed with hand’s on practice where required.
