A Resource for Translational Research

The Translational Therapy Shared Resource provides translational research support services to Cancer Center members interested in pre-clinical and clinical research involving the development of therapies using biologic products including the large-scale production of human cells. In addition, it offers investigators a wide array of immune monitoring assays to assess the in vivo effects of novel experimental therapies in patients.

Our Goals

The goals of the Translational Therapy Shared Resource are to:

• Develop and perform state-of-the-art immune monitoring assays for clinical trials
• Collaborate with investigators to develop GMP cell processing protocols for clinical trials
• Provide large-scale blood, marrow and cord blood cell separation, manipulation and culture facilities for basic research
