The research group of Professor Moustapha Kassem is well-known for its research in the fields of biology and the use of mesenchymal stromal cells in clinical trials. The group has also published studies about current topics like: the characterisation of the molecular phenotype of stem cells, quality control of stem cells, differentiation assays for stem cells and clinical trials. The group is also part of the “Odense University Hospital Center for Stem Cell Therapy”. Through this center, the group coordinated the activities of four prior clinical trials in the fields of tissue regeneration with stromal stem cells (e.g. heart, vascular and nerve tissue regeneration).  to the website
