Basics on stem cells and cell engineering applications in different clinical areas, involved in cardiovascular, immunological and endocrine systems.
The lectures will be subdivided in 2 mains parts: after the presentation of the main properties of stem cells, a presentation and description of each main stem cell including their functional activities will be performed. The European regulatory context of clinical cell engineering will be presented. In a second part, different engineering applications will be presented including basic science, pre-clinical models and clinical transfer experiences. Special attention will be paid to the manufacturing of cells in a clinical setting to comply with Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product status,
Each teaching course of the second part will be composed of 1 h of lecture and 1 h of tutorial.
Tutorials will consist in the critical analysis of recent publications related to the topics of the lectures. Students will present the publication or part of a publication they had to study.
