ADVANCE(CAT) is not exclusive to its members but is open to collaborations with other entities of Catalonia and abroad, if you would like to know to benefit the potential of ADVANCE(CAT) please don’t hesitate to contact us.
PROJECTS
Clinical and industrial applications of cell therapy
ADVANCE(CAT) intends to promote the use of somatic stem cells towards clinical application and industrial exploitation. Further, ADVANCE(CAT) works on the potential of pluripotent stem cells, both PSCs and ESCs, for specific diseases
Clinical applications of tissue engineering
ADVANCE(CAT) intends to develop new artificial tissue production systems by combining both natural and artificial scaffolds with cells. ADVANCE(CAT) will develop 3D printing techniques of scaffolds in GMP environments.
