Coordinating profiles
Professor Anna Falk
Anna is the project’s scientific project manager. She is Professor of Neural Stem Cells at Lund University. Her lab has developed a hiPSC line in the GMP facility Vecura, Stockholm, Sweden.
Anna coordinates the project in collaboration with Malin and Fredrik.
Professor Malin Parmar
Malin is Professor of Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology at Lund University and Robertson Investigator at the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Her lab has developed the method for manufacturing hPSC-derived dopaminergic neuron progenitors for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The product is manufactured at the Royal Free Hospital, London, UK.
Bitr. Prof. Fredrik Lanner
Fredrik is an associate professor at Karolinska Institutet. His lab has developed the method for manufacturing hPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration. The product is manufactured by Fredrik’s staff at Vecura, Stockholm, Sweden and is Sweden’s first hPSC-ATMP.
