Overview
Jehan utilises the most robust and efficient research tools to ensure that the best quality of mesenchymal stem cells are used for tissue regeneration and the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
Jehan has experience and expertise in the immunology of tissue regeneration and the interactions between immune cells or mediators and mesenchymal stem cells. Research has also focused on evaluating the phenotype and repair capacities of stem cells from people suffering from different chronic diseases.
“The optimal tissue regenerative therapies requires careful consideration of the disease microenvironment. We offer specialist testing of both repair and immunomodulatory functions of mesenchymal stem cells in both 2- and 3-dimensional microenvironments”.
Dr Jehan El-Jawhari
