Human Islet Isolation: Technical Q&A
TBD

Session supported by:

This interactive session will provide a forum for human islet isolators to increase their knowledge of the unwritten technical issues encountered during the islet isolation process (organ procurement, tissue preparation, tissue dissociation, islet purification, islet characterization, islet delivery).
Those interested in participating are encouraged to review in advance the slide deck that consolidates a list of the more commonly asked questions to our experts by islet isolators.
If you have any questions that you would like to see addressed during the session, please email them in advance to the moderator rcmccarthy@vitacyte.com or you can submit them during the breakout session.
Our experts will be live during the session to reply to your questions or clarify their answers from Q&As on the slide deck.
