Presentation summary
The development of advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMP) requires the close collaboration between many different professionals. These professionals also need additional training regarding these novel products. Unfortunately, these trainings a scattered and many people struggle with finding the right training opportunities. We have established a platform with an overview of available trainings with a short course description, target population and costs.
Abstract details
We will discuss the difficulties in aligning professionals in the development of ATMPs. We will discuss the website developed by DARE-NL that gives an overview of courses and how to navigate it and we will discuss the opportunity to register available courses on this platform.

CAR-T: allogenic T-cel
Location: Gauguin
Maria Themeli - Assistant Professor - Amsterdam UMC visit profile
Presentation category: Cellular therapy, including CAR-T’s and stem cell mobilization/harvest
Presentation summary
The rapid development of CAR-T cell therapy has also revealed important challenges that limit the feasibility of cost-effective, easier and broader application.The use of allogeneic healthy donor-derived T cells has been suggested as an alternative, readily available source of CAR-T cells. However, their use requires substantial genome engineering.The technology of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) offers new perspectives for the production of immunotherapeutic cellular products with multi-plex modifications.
