Charbel Khalil, Cellular Therapy (Clinical Scientist)

I have received my PhD in cellular therapy and regenerative medicine from Saint Joseph University- Lebanon. I pursued a fellowship in cellular therapy at the University of Paris Diderot and was appointed as a full time supervisor in the department of cellular therapy at the Institute Gustave Roussy (IGR) - Villejuif/University of Paris XI.

I also hold a Master of Science in biobanking from Luxembourg University and a Master in wound management from ICW Germany, a Master in cellular therapy and regenerative medicine from Saint Joseph University, a university diploma in cellular therapy from Paris Diderot, Paris and currently doing a diploma in Immuno-Oncology at Paris XI (Ecole du Cancer- Paris, France).

I was the cellular therapy director at Reviva stem cell platform for Research and Applications Center-Middle East Institute of Health University Hospital. Reviva has been considered the leading stem cell treatment and research center in the Middle East. It holds the first national cord blood bank, cellular therapy, reconstructive medicine and regenerative medicine for clinical trials, and has won the Innovation Award in 2014.
I have contributed to the establishment and development of the center’s infrastructure and services, and supervised the accreditation process in collaboration with Hospital Saint Louis - Paris, France for JACIE international regulation. This made me an expert in the establishment and direction of any stem cell research center and cord blood bank.

I have also been a teacher and researcher at Saint Joseph University of Beirut, Faculty of Pharmacy.I’m also an active member of the European, Eastern Mediterranean, and Lebanese societies for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and the French society for Stem cell and research.
