Northwest Embryonic Stem Cell Centre
The NWESCC GMP Clean Laboratories are the first in the North West to engage in the production of GMP embryos and the derivation of human embryonic stem cell lines and will allow scientists to develop stem cell products to standards of Good Manufacturing Practice for potential therapeutic use.
Researchers produce clinical grade human embryonic stem (hES) cells for the treatment of a wide range of diseases and for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Projects focus on:
- The establishment of GMP embryology and derivation of GMP hES cell lines.
- Targeted differentiation to insulin-secreting cells
- Targeted differentiation to chondrocytes
- Pluripotency and self renewal
- The stem cell niche
