LRMN and the Cell Therapy Catapult – April 2015
The April 2015 meeting of the London Regenerative Medicine Network is focused on logistics, a key bottleneck for the delivery of cell therapies into the clinic. This meeting features three leading experts, who will discuss their experiences and offer potential solutions for the future using real-world clinical examples.
This meeting is the third meeting supported by the Cell Therapy Catapult. The Cell Therapy Catapult believe that through science and industry, along with their own in house expertise in cell and gene therapies, they will one day provide better treatments that will ease suffering and improve quality of life, whilst building a global industry the UK can be truly proud of. The Cell Therapy Catapult, supported by Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board), advances products into early clinical trials, providing clinical, technical, manufacturing, regulatory, health economics and market access expertise. There is a focus on collaboration and lowering barriers to investment and funding.
The meeting will take place on Monday 27th April 2015 at 6.00pm in the Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, Wilkins Building, University College London — a short walk from Euston Square, Goodge Street and Warren Street Tube Stations and Euston Station.
