Project Manager
iPSpine seeks to offer novel technologies and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) for the advanced therapy research and development community.
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) will be the showcase, offering improved quality of life for millions of patients with IDD-induced Low Back Pain (LBP), through long-lasting reduction of LBP, reduced LBP-related
premature retirement, and improved socio-economic contribution.
With their multi-disciplinary expertise in the development of advanced therapies and their translation from bench to bedside, the aim of the iPSpine team is to investigate and develop a new advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) of the future, based on a novel developmental biology-based therapeutic strategy employing pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and smart biomaterials.
The iPSpine consortium will develop and demonstrate Proof-of-concept with the aid of novel and extended knowledge, tools and technology platforms. Hereby, iPSpine has the ambition to make a significant contribution by reducing translational bottlenecks through open innovation and take European leadership in the development of ATMPs.
