Blood Assurance Receives CTF Grant for Cell Therapy Research

Blood Assurance, an AABB institutional member based in Tennessee, recently received a grant from the Commonwealth Transfusion Foundation (CTF) to fund cell therapy research. The grant money awarded will allow Blood Assurance to add equipment to analyze cells and freeze them for preservation. Blood Assurance established a cellular therapy division last year.

“Receiving this grant from Commonwealth Transfusion Foundation is a milestone for us,” said Blood Assurance President and CEO, Liz Culler, MD. “This equipment will be used to prepare products for shipment to researchers, prepare treatments for patients and to train future laboratory cell therapy technicians.”
