Other Uses

The center doesn’t only support islet isolation work for transplantation; it is also available to researchers (whether from universities or biotech companies) also working on islet transplantation. In addition, the suites within the center are now gearing up to support other innovative therapies, including: new cancer vaccines (e.g., those using dendritic cells); bone marrow cell transplantations (to reduce rejection in grafted organs); and gene therapies, all of which require the isolation and processing of human cells.
