The Jewish General Hospital Cell Processing Centre听is designed as an enabling infrastructure to support the prosecution of early phase clinical trials of cell-based therapies where processing of human cell and tissue is required as part of the study. The objective of this facility is to render accessible to the patient community cutting edge, experimental cellular pharmaceuticals for treatment of human catastrophic illnesses. It promotes development of technologies from institutional scientists as well as partnership development of technologies from other biomedical institutions, academic networks, biotechnology firms and pharmaceutical industry. The JGH CPC鈥檚 successful development is optimized within an environment of cooperation on a regional and national scale. The JGH CPC is part of the 看片视频 family of enabling infrastructures and has established links with many Quebec-based Medical Schools.
The JGH CPC has experience in the preparation of patient cells for clinical translation of cell and gene therapies within the JGH, such as was done for the first patient in Quebec to receive gene-enhanced progenitor cells in a phase I trial for pulmonary hypertension (study results of all patients published in the in 2015).听The JGH CPC can similarly be involved in the translation of other successful preclinical cell and gene therapy research, such as that of our own preclinical laboratories at the Lady Davis Institute, JGH and of others at 看片视频 University and elsewhere in Canada.
The JGH CPC is currently receiving infrastructure support from Th茅Cell, the FRQS-funded Cell, Tissue and Gene Therapy Network of Quebec.
