CARAT is a EU-funded project aiming to integrate innovative cell manufacturing technologies into a new, comprehensive platform that will facilitate the safe, automated, and cost-efficient manufacture of highly effective CAR T cells. Thus, CARAT is taking on the mission to deliver new methods to enable the wide use of novel personalized cancer treatment options based on highly innovative cell therapies. The project consortium comprises a multi-national team of leading experts from eight European partnering institutions.
In 2017 and 2018 two unique training events were performed by CARAT to transfer knowledge on GMP-compliant CAR T cell manufacturing to scientists in the field. Based on the high interest and the huge success of both training events, CARAT will offer a third training event in 2019 to reach an even higher number of scientists. The course is limited to a maximum of six attendees. It will take place at Miltenyi Biotec´s headquarter in Germany in December 2019 and focuses on practical, regulatory, and scientific issues. Applicants from EU Member States and Associated Countries are encouraged to participate.
Scientists with a profound background in cellular and gene therapy, who intend to initiate clinical applications in the near future.
The training event will take place on December 09-13, 2019 in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.
