EPSCs for Regenerative Medicine & Human Disease Study
Clinical grade human EPSC-MSCs will first undergo extensive pre-clinical evaluation for safety and efficacy for transplantation in our established clinically relevant large animal models of heart diseases.
- Application of stem cell-derived cells for disease modeling/drug screening
- Cell products
- EPSCs as platform for the generation of genome-edited animals
