  • Research summary

    We intend to use biological material from anonymous donors obtained via the NHS blood transfusion service for experimental characterization of the products developed by F-Star. The experimental characterization will be done as soon as the biological material is available and the biological material will not be stored for more than one week. The experimental characterization of our products will allow us to define them more precisely and also to screen between our products for ones with additional properties.
