The AlloGenesis Clinic team is focused on optimizing the process variable involved in extracting and purifying growth factors from human platelets that can easily be scaled up in a cost effective manner. The effectiveness of the growth factor mixture is evaluated and determined through stem cell viability results which will ultimately be expanded to be used in research and clinical applications.
