Cutting edge treatments bring hope for the seriously ill

New Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) based on genes, cells or tissue engineering could revolutionise treatments for hard-to-treat diseases. ATMPs aim to cure, treat or alleviate various forms of cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and other illnesses.

Advanced treatments of the future are soon here

New and innovative therapies have the potential to cure, alleviate and treat diseases where traditional medicines are currently insufficient.
