This roundtable will discuss the potential impact on this for those who collect cells for therapeutic uses, including cell/tissue transplantation and ATMP.

Learning Objectives
  1. To understand how the new SoHo regulation will impact the collection of human cells and tissues for transplantation or manufacturing of ATMP
  2. To understand the future role of EDQM in setting standards
