Learning Outcomes and Competencies The module aims to familiarise participants with the history and challenges of the development and implementation of cell and tissue therapies.
Module Content The lecture series introduces participants to selected cell and tissue therapies, including both classical and modern approaches.
 
  • Classical cell therapies (bone marrow donation and blood transfusion, immunological considerations) and an overview of ongoing clinical cell therapy studies
  • Therapy development
  • Example of living skin replacement
  • Example of cell therapy for diabetes mellitus
  • Exosomes for the production of new therapeutic products: role and extraction
  • Bioprinting of tissues and organs: comparison between ex-vivo and in-vivo
Follow-up Modules None
Methods of Instruction  Lecture, practice exercises, discussion
