Nytt stamcellslab i USA

Ärorika City of Hope i Kalifornien vill inte stå utanför när USA:s Reg Med drar igång på allvar. 

City of Hope® is a world-renowned pioneer in cancer research, treatment and prevention, with a legacy started over 100 years ago on our Los Angeles campus, home to a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center.

We are bringing breakthroughs from the laboratory to our patients, with lifesaving speed – treating cancer with leading-edge technologies, innovative treatments and supportive care tailored to each patient’s needs.

And we’re treating patients across the United States through our national footprint of cancer centers.

City of Hope is a private, non-profit clinical research center, hospital and graduate school located in Duarte, California, United States. The center's main campus resides on 110 acres (45 ha) of land adjacent to the boundaries of Duarte and Irwindale, with a network of clinical practice locations throughout Southern California, satellite offices in Monrovia and Irwindale, and regional fundraising offices throughout the United States.

City of Hope is best known as a cancer treatment center. It has been designated a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. City of Hope has also been ranked one of the nation's Best Cancer Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for over ten years and is a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

City of Hope awarded $5.4 million CIRM grant to create a stem cell laboratory and expand access to state-of-the-art disease models and technology among a diverse scientific community

LOS ANGELES — City of Hope®, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, has been awarded $5.4 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to build and fund a stem cell research laboratory on its Duarte, California, campus that will further expand its scientific capabilities.

The mission of the unique Stem Cell-Based Disease Modeling Laboratory is two-fold. First, it will advance stem cell-based disease modeling to spur innovation in regenerative medicine. The laboratory leverages City of Hope’s infrastructure and expertise using human cell-derived organoids — a key focus in current efforts to create disease models relevant to understanding biological mechanisms that often lead to new therapies. In particular, the laboratory will supply healthy and cancerous stem cell-based models in brain, heart and breast tissue to the region’s scientists for research.

Second, it will stimulate stem cell research in medically underserved communities by increasing scientists’ access to specialized laboratory equipment services, and training and by educating students about regenerative medicine.

“Our new laboratory will expand access to state-of-the-art disease models to researchers at City of Hope and our neighboring institutions, enabling them to pursue impactful scientific questions and to accelerate innovation in stem cell therapies,” said program director Nadia Carlesso, Ph.D., City of Hope’s chair of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. “This will accelerate research in regenerative medicine, benefiting patients and researchers throughout California. We also aim to plant the seed for future careers in regenerative medicine by educating students about the field.”

University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Gladstone Institutes and PHI jointly operate San Francisco’s Holographic Imaging Cytometry Center of Excellence. The Center’s activities focus on bringing the benefits of holographic cytometry and machine-learning to the San Francisco research community, by providing education and technical support.

Det öppnar upp för att även grannen City of Hope ska bli HoloMonitoranvändare när de ska utrusta sitt nya labb. Vår man i USA,Håkan Rosvall,har förhoppningsvis koll på läget och redan inplanerat ett besök hos City of Hope. Med referenser från UCSF bör det inte vara nåt problem att sälja in åtminstone 1 fullutrustat HoloMonitor system.

PHI fortsätter att öka sin representation hos återförsäljare världen runt. Nu senast har LabRulez i Tjeckien tagit in HoloMonitor i sitt sortiment. Altium har förmodligen ett finger med i denna händelse.
