We are working to improve how we deliver life-changing medicines directly into the human brain.
We believe that through innovation and collaboration, our research can lead to more effective therapies and improve the lives of those affected by neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
Our research involves the development of the most promising emerging Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs), which involves the use of cells, genes or tissues, that need to be delivered directly into the brain.
