Cell production
Providing Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for the French community is part of our mission to promote and assist MSC-based cell therapy in a safe and efficient environment.
ECELLFrance has 5 production facilities located in Toulouse, Grenoble, Créteil, Clamart and Besançon. They belong to 2 public institutions : The EFS (Etablissement Français du sang) and the CTSA (Centre de transfusion sanguine des armées). The MSC produced are used as advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) for national and European clinical trials, and for preclinical studies.
Cells are used both within ECellFrance teams for internal programs, and by external academic and industrial teams upon request through an application form.
