Besides being a delightful colleague, her sharing of knowledge about clinical scale cell therapy manufacturing was invaluable. Xuiyan toured our facility, the Centenary Institute and Sydney University – while en route to Melbourne for the International Society for Stem Cell Research Conference.
Xuiyan contributed to our understanding with constructive information and insider knowledge – knowledge which would not be accessible from just reading published Journal articles. Her visit was not only productive, but has been instrumental for establishing a rapport and network between internationally renowned Laboratories, both of whom are currently involved together in the International Car-T Mesothelin research project.
Xuiyan also attended the Thalassaemia Society of NSW 40th year celebration, where our Director Professor John Rasko gave an address.
Our laboratories look forward to a continued collaboration into the future – to establish a service where the latest therapies are available to Australian patients.
