The Comprehensive Transplant Immunobiology Laboratory
Certified June, 2024
The Comprehensive Transplant Immunobiology Laboratory (CTIL) is dedicated to investigating novel innovations in solid organ transplant research. Our research focus includes all aspects of transplantation spanning donor organ management to allograft tolerance induction. In addition, we are investigating techniques that will lead to the next era of transplantation, including bioengineering and targeting cell-specific immunometabolism.
As a team, we are committed to laboratory sustainability because we understand the impact of scientific waste on the environment, and we do not want to compromise the health of the planet because of our work. It has been rewarding to work together to make sure we address simple aspects of sustainability, such as turning off equipment not in use, sharing freezer space with collaborators, and making an effort to minimize excess water use for glass cleaning. We have also explored other options for chemicals we use that are difficult to dispose of due to their toxicity. We can’t wait to continue furthering our Green Lab efforts through having a set of communal, reusable dishes to share in the lab space.
