Translating regenerative medicine science into clinical practice: the local to global pivot

Research into cell and gene therapies is globally dispersed, which creates scientific opportunities, but in turn, significant commercial challenges. In order to successfully bring promising scientific endeavors through to commercial opportunity, greater cross-border coordination of supply side activity considerations such as academic institutions, funding gaps, intellectual property, and commercial entities as well as demand-side issues of reimbursement, regulatory policy, stakeholder engagement and patient engagement should be advocated for.
