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.
