PurStem is a research and demonstration project funded under Framework Programme 7 of the European Union. The objective of Purstem is to establish standard methods and tools for the production of large amounts of mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells show enormous promise as enablers of a range of therapies, without the ethical issues associated with certain other stem cell types.
The PurStem project brings together leading researchers in stem cell and regenerative therapy from across Europe, joined by SMEs with specific technologies and/or expertise.
The project aims to revolutionise the way that stem cells are generated at industrial levels and so facilitate their widespread use in therapeutics. The benefits for society as a whole are significant, and for stem cell R&D they are immense.
