Study of Generating and Banking Clinical-grade Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect, convert and bank blood cells from healthy volunteers into stem cells (iPSCs) at a current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) facility within the Discovery and Innovation building on the Mayo FLorida campus. After comprehensive validation, we will bank those cGMP-iPSCs as a resource available to Mayo Clinic investigators and also to outside investigators as appropriate. Those bio-specimens could be unique resources to develop new protocols for production of clinical grade iPSC-derived cells, cell-derived products such as extracellular vesicles, and tissues to support Investigational New Drug (IND) and related clinical trials.
