Julio Castaño Cardoso

I am a professional with more than 15 years of academic research experience, specialised in cancer, haematopoietic stem cells and cell/molecular therapies for haematological disorders. Currently, I work in the production and GMP management of ATMPs, including CAR-T cells, collaborating closely with regulatory affairs and national authorities. At SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, I aspire to contribute to the development of advanced therapies and clinical trials under GCP, consolidating my expertise in regenerative medicine and gene therapy to impact patient health.
