unimore

CIDSTEM has a GMP-authorized facility for the implementation of advanced therapies and the technical and professional skills to manage the GMP laboratory and clinical trials of these therapies.
It therefore possesses the know-how and instrumentation necessary to offer companies:
-an implementation service for research and clinical trials, approved by regulatory bodies, of advanced therapies involving cell cultures in GMP;
-A consulting service for the technological transfer of clinical and preclinical trials in GMP and for the production of cell cultures for advanced therapies.
-An implementation service of research aimed at the industrialization of cell cultures for the development of ATMPs;
-a testing service of new technologies (nanomaterials, scaffolds for the realization of 3D cellular tissues, laboratory equipment, software for clinical trials and for the management of biological data, GMP compliant logistics, etc.).

European Rare Disease Registry Infrastructure

Provided by EUROPEAN PLATFORM ON RARE DISEASE REGISTRATION (EU RD PLATFORM)

EC

The European Rare Disease Registry Infrastructure (ERDRI) renders rare disease registries’ data searchable and findable. This is achieved through the provision of following components: European Directory of Registries (ERDRI.dor), Central Metadata Repository (ERDRI.mdr) and Pseudonymisation Tool.

Paediatric pre-clinical and basic research services

Provided by EPTRI

EPTRI

EPTRI provides integrated services for research developments through its five Thematic Research Platforms according to their specific research area of expertise:
1. PAEDIATRIC MEDICINES DISCOVERY, which relates to the early-stage discovery and development of druggable molecular targets specific to paediatric disease, as well as discovery of new drugs specific for the paediatric population.
2. PAEDIATRIC BIOMARKERS, performing research to identify, characterise and validate new biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and personalised therapy in paediatric diseases; provide access to/deposit of annotated paediatric biological samples.
3. DEVELOPMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY, concerning studies on the pharmacological characteristics of drugs and related body response, based on the knowledge of growth and development/maturation of the organs and functions
4. PAEDIATRIC MEDICINES FORMULATIONS, which develops appropriate age-specific formulations and adequate delivery systems for preterm neonates, infants, toddlers, children and adolescents.
5. PAEDIATRIC MEDICAL DEVICES to cover the gap in medical devices tailored for children addressing the changes in growth and psychosocial maturation, physiology, and pathophysiology, and avoid inappropriate repurposing of adult technologies.

M4 – MAKE ME MY MODEL consultancy service – Flux Balance Analysis
M4 – Make Me My Model is an initiative of ISBE light, the starting pilot of ISBE. At SYSBIO, you can contact us to develop a metabolic math model specific for your research. This constraint-based model approach, called Flux Balance Analysis, could be of great usefulness to understand your data and improve the impact of your publication (i.e. better journal, wider and multidisciplinary approach, etc.). Different approaches can be provided, thanks to ISBE partners.
