Our research group is a multidisciplinary team with members from the Cell Therapy Service from the Banc de Sang i Teixits and clinical researchers dedicated to preclinical translational research. During 2019 our research group has been working in the development of cell therapies and advanced technology of biological constructs for optimal integration into clinical regenerative treatments. We have produced different publications regarding our works in cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells, in preclinical studies in bone regeneration and international clinical trials collaborations. We have also established successful collaborations with partners from different fields focusing in the development of new tissue engineering therapies.
