The PEPR projects are grouped under 4 main axes:

Axis 1 – Anticipate the scale-up of cell therapies and the emergence of tissue therapies

Axis 2 – Accelerate the deployment of gene therapies

Axis 3 – Engineering to benefit biotherapies and bioprocesses

Axis 4 – Support an emerging industrial sector centered around the use of extracellular vesicles
