Prof. Santos' Lab is part of a large selected Academy of Finland Flagship project
GeneCellNano Flagship focuses on the innovation and commercial development of new biological drugs (so-called ATMP products), biomarkers and diagnostics for common chronic diseases. Flagship brings together all Finnish frontline gene therapy, cell therapy and nanotechnology researchers, clinical resources, leading companies and third sector actors. Flagship will create a unique public-private Competence Cluster which has an excellent opportunity to become world leader in this emerging area of biomedicine due to its state-of-the-art innovative basic research, excellent manufacturing technology, pioneering clinical experience and numerous international networks. Flagship aims to significantly increase both domestic and foreign investments in gene, cell and nano therapy, bring new effective therapies to common chronic diseases and create new jobs and companies to biotechnology and drug industry, thus significantly strengthening the development of Finnish economy and society at large.
