Cell, Gene, Tissue Standards

Cell, gene, and tissue therapies are revolutionizing modern healthcare, holding the promise to treat and even cure a spectrum of previously intractable conditions. USP is leading the charge to establish cutting edge standards in the cell and gene therapy arena, ensuring these novel therapies meet the highest quality, safety, and efficacy benchmarks. Working with industry frontrunners, medical experts, and regulators, USP is streamlining the transition of cell and gene therapies from ground-breaking research to mainstream clinical practice, making advanced treatments both effective and widely available. As the realm of cell and gene therapies expands, USP continues to lay the groundwork necessary for their quality product development, validation, and integration into global healthcare systems.
