Mayo Clinic today announced a strategic collaboration in biomanufacturing to deliver novel biotherapeutics for rare and complex conditions. The collaboration brings together science, engineering and manufacturing to advance Mayo Clinic's vision of bringing new cures to clinical care. The focus will be on therapies derived from human sources known as biologics -- cells, blood, enzymes, tissues, genes or genetically engineered cells -- for use in medicines. Therapeutics based on biologics have the potential to target exact tissues needing repair.
