Scientific Description
ECELLFRANCE (ECF) is an infrastructure for clinical research dedicated to the adult stem cell therapy. ECELLFRANCE gathers expertise and know-how in preclinical research, regulatory studies and clinical applications in the major medical fields (neurological, cardio-vascular, osteoarticular, immunological and dermatological applications) to speed up the development process of new stem cell therapy products. ECF offers to optimize the GMP grade production and qualification of adult stem cells, to improve the safety procedures, to define the optimal doses, and to monitor the patients receiving stem cells. The infrastructure assists both academic and industrial partners with the implementation of their preclinical or clinical programs. It also organizes training for scientists and clinicians to promote both basic and translational clinical research for stem cells based therapy.
