iCone Consortium hits milestone in large-scale production of iPSC-derived cortical neurons
The iCone (iPSC-derived Cortical neurons) Consortium made up of MaSTherCell SA (CDMO dedicated to industrialisation and production of Cell and Gene Therapies), Ncardia (a drug discovery and development company specialised in testing drug candidates in stem cell derived cardiomyocyte and neuron models), the Pierre Vanderhaeghen Lab. at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (specialised in research on cortical neuron development from human ES and iPS cells) and the “Laboratoire de Chimie Analytique Pharmaceutique” led by Philippe Hubert at Université de Liège (ULiège, CIRM, Vibra-santé Hub - specialized in “Quality by Design” and vibrational spectroscopy) has just reached a major milestone in the development of a 3D mid- and large-scale process for the production of human iPSC-derived cortical neurons.
