Generation and characterization of hiPSC
Working group 2 is responsible for the generation and characterization of hiPSC. The team shall compare and optimize the methodologies for the generation of hiPSC suitable for the manufacture of therapeutic products and develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on hiPSC generation from haplo-selected cord blood samples based on assessment of cell preparation/selection and reprogramming methods.
Objectives
- Comparison and optimisation of methodologies for the generation of hiPSC suitable for the manufacture of therapeutic products
