title: [Production of autologous keratinocytes for therapeutic purposes within a pharmaceutical company].
abstract: Because biotechnologies are growing and are becoming key players in the pharmaceutical industry scene, Genévrier Laboratories inaugurated in January 1998, a new department especially designed for the production of cultured cells as therapeutic agents. Meeting clinician therapeutic needs by providing autologous keratinocytes and chondrocytes in the near future, represents the primary aim of the Biotechnology department. Concrete cell-based products are already being used for the treatment of burns and cutaneous chronic wounds such as the EPIBASE graft, which corresponds to an epidermis sheet composed of cultured autologous keratinocytes.
