xMac
The xMac project is based on the scientific discoveries of Prof. Sieweke's group about
the expansion potential of adult macrophages, as well as the differentiation and
expansion of macrophages from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Macrophages
have great potential as a broadly applicable cell therapeutic of the future.
SaxoCell Projects The focus in the first project phase is on the development of a manufacturing process
under GMP conditions to provide investigational products for clinical trials in the field of
infectious and pulmonary diseases, but also oncology, as well as the development of
universally applicable preparations for allogeneic transplantation.
