The goal of CryoStem is to create a national, multicenter, prospectie, longitudinal, standardized HSCT human-sample collection (derived from adult and pediatric patients) with the purpose of enabling better characterization and prediction of HSCT complications occurence and outcome, including GvHD.
CryoStem has generated a French network involving all the French transplant units, adult and pediatric and 28 Biological Resources Centres. Only in a network such as this may the full potential be realized of having concrete and effective interactions between scientists with top knowledge in specific areas and physicians. CryoStem fosters interactions among internationally recognized experts in advanced biotechnology (genomics,transcriptomics, proteomics, and flow cytometry).
Altogether, CryoStem provides a structured approach for a range of different research activities, bringing together leading-edge researchers who can access documented biological (CryoStem) and clinical (ProMISe) samples from transplanted patients in order to better characterize and predict HSCT complications.
