nPOD Welcomes new Partners
nPOD is pleased to welcome two new partners to the nPOD Network:
The International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM)
IIAM is one of the largest recovery and placement networks in the world for donated human organs and tissues. IIAM honors the wishes of donors and their families who seek to contribute to medical research. These donations help scientists unlock the mysteries of diseases like type 1 diabetes and facilitate the development of treatments and therapies. IIAM supports the nPOD project through its partnerships with organ procurement organizations throughout the United States. To learn more about IIAM, please visit their Web Site at www.iiam.org. Welcome, IIAM!
LABS, Inc., has been a partner of the nPOD project since 2009, when its Philadelphia facility began screening donor samples from Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) for two type 1 diabetes related autoantibodies. This month, the Denver, CO LABS, Inc facility will provide similar services for additional OPO partners. To learn more about LABS, Inc., please visit their Web site.
