Biography
Medical doctor and Scientist. I am specialized in cell engineering and the development of cell production process for cell therapy. I worked also on impact of malignant myeloma on mesenchymal stem cells. I have a very good experience in the management of project development in cell therapy. I am a specialist in adult stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stromal cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue). I have built a production process of adipose-tissue derived stromal/stem cells that is used in clinical trials. Finally I was in charge of programs of production of induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPS) and their differentiation into cardiovascular progenitors in my last position.
