UK's MHRA brings in stem cell robot to help develop therapies
A new robot that grows stem cells is being trialled by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Potentially able to bring safer and more cost-effective treatments to people with a wide range of diseases, the CellQualia Intelligent Cell Processing System is the only one in the world outside of Japan, where it was developed.
The trial is part of a UK-based international research program, launched in 2021, and a partnership between the MHRA, Scottish regenerative medicine start-up Sakarta and Tokyo-based electrical equipment manufacturer Sinfonia Technology, with support from the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe.
