TUSTIN : Hospital Equipment Donated to Professor

Tustin Hospital Medical Center has donated $68,000 worth of cell-culturing and laboratory equipment to Gale Granger, a professor of immunology at UC Irvine, to use for research on brain cancer and ovarian cancer.

The gift, which includes centrifuges, incubators and other equipment, will allow UCI researchers to perform in-house culturing of human cancer cells and production of cells for treating cancer patients.

The equipment will be housed at the cellular engineering facility at the university’s Clinical Cancer Center in Orange.
