NUI Opens Ireland's First Stem Cell Facility
NUI Galway is to open Ireland's first ever plant to manufacture human stem cells.
Centre for Cell Manufacturing Ireland (CCMI) is the first facility in Ireland to be granted a license to use stem cells in extensive clinical trials.
The custom-built facility will take small samples of bone marrow from adult donors and culture them in a specially designed laboratory to make billions of stem cells.
The cells will then be injected back into the donor or other patients as part of clinical trials. Patients suffering from certain diseases may also be able to access trials of stem cell therapies.
CCMI will work along with Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI), which has worked since 2004 on the development of new therapies for diseases with either inadequate or ineffective treatments.
