I am looking forward to developing the clinical programme and to maintaining contact with the authorities to ensure that our studies and applications are approved. It will be very interesting to develop projects within the fields of regenerative medicine and cancer with the Xintela team, says Caroline Ehrencrona.

 In addition to good planning, future clinical studies demand excellent contacts with regulatory authorities such as The Swedish MPA (Läkemedelsverket) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Caroline Ehrencrona,will work with the design and conduct of safety studies and future clinical programmes with CEO Evy Lundgren-Åkerlund and Research Director Carl-Magnus Högerkorp.
