Michelle Fransen Shares A Historical Review on Plasma-Derived Medicinal Products
Michelle Fransen, Director, Lead for Study Management at Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA), shared on LinkedIn:
”I am thrilled to share that Dr. Toby Simon and I had our article, “Source plasma apheresis and plasma-derived medicinal products: a historical review” published in the most recent issue Annals of Blood.
This paper, which can be found here, outlines the history of plasmapheresis and PDMP manufacturing which spans more than a century of scientific and clinical innovation.
We believe that understanding this history is more than academic—it underscores how continued innovation, strong regulatory oversight, and a focus on donor health are essential to sustaining a global plasma supply and advancing care for patients with immune deficiencies, coagulation disorders, and other rare diseases.”
