Cell therapy, where living cells are harnessed to treat diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders, is slated to be the next generation of medicine.
Called the Smart Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalised-Medicine , the initiative will tap an $80 million national fund set aside for advancing cell therapy research. In cell therapy, living cells such as stem cells and white blood cells are injected, grafted or implanted into a patient to treat diseases.
"We cannot use those cells any more for treatment, and growing a new batch of cells will take time," added Prof Van Vliet, who is also a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology .
