About the department
In Cell Therapy R&D, our mission is to improve the lives of patients suffering from serious chronic diseases through innovative stem cell-based therapies. We want to be an industry leader in this rapidly developing area, which has the potential to address unmet medical needs in a disease-modifying to curative approach to serious chronic diseases.
