According to the public relations and information center of the Vice-Presidency for science and technology affairs, the workshop of “familiarization with GLP principles in pre-clinical development of cell therapy, gene therapy and regenerative medicine products” will be held in one day in the presence of Dr. Mohammad Alivijeh from Pharmidex Pharmaceutical Company and a number of specialized professors of this field in the comprehensive surgical and medical center of university on January 8^th 2018 and with the support of stem cells science and technologies development headquarter.

The main topics of the workshop are pre-clinical development process of cellular products, quality standards in pre-clinical studies, GLP guidance and implementation models.

In general, GLP is global rules and standards for management of operation and production of a product in a laboratory. By doing so, the accuracy of coordination, stability, validity, ability to be reproduced, quality and correctness of production of chemical products, which also include pharmaceutical products, in the laboratory setting will be ensured in the experimental and not clinical field.

In fact, this system is related to the quality control of performance in laboratory settings and include the personnel (human resources), laboratory setting, methods to collect the relevant documents, performance, required tools, applied raw materials and all stages of production.

There is a need for international trainings for accurate implementation of these rules. Today, the food and drug organization of each country that adheres to this global standard has the competence to control and verify the GLP practices and can monitor the construction methods and performance of laboratories that act based on these principles.

In this respect, one of the principles to consider is the effect of chemical compounds on humans, animals and the environment. Moreover, GLP are regulations based on quality system and must be mistaken with other standards that regard the attention to proper safety, such as glasses, gloves and cloths of the staff to guarantee their safety in the laboratory.

The workshop of “familiarization with GLP principles in pre-clinical development of cell therapy, gene therapy and regenerative medicine products” will be held with the support of the stem cells science and technologies development headquarter.
