Specify the cell and its intended function
Define the therapeutic cell's identity, desired function and biological setting, then identify what would demonstrate that it performs the intended job.
Replacement and engineered cells
- Stem-cell or cell-replacement approaches
- Engineered cell therapies
- Antigen-specific Treg / CAR-Treg strategies
What the existing models can inform
- In BioTwin today · Cell therapy belongs to the research vision. Related cell-state models can inform biological questions, while engineering or replacing therapeutic cells requires additional methods.
- Development and validation · Current cell-state and network work informs bounded hypotheses. Cell engineering, manufacturing and therapeutic function require separate development and validation.
From a cell-state hypothesis to a therapy program
Define the therapeutic cell’s identity and intended job in its biological setting. Separate the cell-state question from the engineering, manufacturing, persistence and functional evidence a cell therapy needs.
