Science is developing rapidly, and to date, modern, socially important scientific research is possible only in international cooperation. After all, such techno-intensive fields as cell and molecular biology, genetics require extremely expensive equipment, which is available only in a few scientific centres of the world, as well as the participation of highly qualified specialists with unique experience. The logistics of modern scientific studies often look the way that part of the research is conducted in the USA, part in Ukraine, Japan or Australia.
High qualification of employees and modern equipment allows the Institute of Cell Therapy to carry out high-tech scientific research in the field of molecular biology, the results of which allow to create new cell and gene engineered products, to participate in international scientific projects.
Earlier, we reported on the participation of Institute of Cell Therapy in the European Cooperation for Science and Technology, in which the staff of the Institute Center for Science during 2018-2022 are implementing an international scientific project on the study of perinatal tissues (umbilical cord, placenta). The research was supported by the international grant COST Action CA17116 from the Horizon 2020 European Union program.
The Institute of Cell Therapy also participated in the implementation of the Thymistem international scientific project within the framework of the 7th Framework Program of the European Union, supported by a € 6.1 million grant.
Since 2019, the Institute for Cell Therapy, in the framework of the scientific collaboration between Ukraine and France, is participating in an international scientific project “The Impact of Circulating Viral Transactivator Proteins (HIV-1 Tat and EBV Zta) on Gene Expression in B-Cell Lymphomagenesis”.
Participation of the Institute of Cell Therapy researchers in international scientific projects allows our centre to keep up with the most uptodate standards, to get access to the latest technologies of biomaterial cryopreservation and cell therapy, to share their own experience with foreign partners. Accordingly, the clients of Cryobank and the patients of the Institute of Cell Therapy Clinic are the first to get access to the latest achievements of world medicine.
