Celebrating New Discoveries

July 31, 2010

Gilbert’s brand-new world-class facility brings medical innovation to the East Valley.

What once seemed futuristic and only found in sci-fi movies has made its way to Arizona. The Valley’s first umbilical-cord blood bank opens this summer in Gilbert. The Celebration Stem Cell Centre (CSCC) is a “family-owned” private umbilical cord blood bank, public cord blood donation, genetic counseling and research facility located across the street from the Mercy Gilbert Medical Center campus. CSCC plans to begin processing billions of life-saving umbilical cord blood stem cells by July of 2010.

The center will give Valley residents an opportunity to learn and contribute to cutting-edge stem-cell research as well as reinforce the increased commercial investment and continued growth of the life science sector in Gilbert and the East Valley.

Gilbert, Ariz. Announces Biomedical Research Center for Stem Cell Processing, Treatments, and Storage

July 20, 2010

New Center Based on Innovative Research and Collaboration Between Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and Celebration Stem Cell Centre

Gilbert, AZ, July 20, 2010 – A collaborative partnership between Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and Celebration Stem Cell Centre is turning Gilbert, Arizona into one of the world’s leading research centers for cord blood stem cell research, processing, and storage. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, several Phoenix-area hospitals, and other Catholic Healthcare West hospitals have agreed to collect donated cord blood from consenting patients for the processing, storage, and subsequent delivery of stem cells for worldwide clinical research made available through Celebration Stem Cell Centre. Cord blood stem cells are non-controversial, unlike embryonic stem cells, because it is collected from the umbilical cord of newborn babies, which is usually discarded. Researchers, institutions, and companies interested in opening offices in Gilbert for stem cell research should contact Gilbert’s economic development division at: busdev@gilbertaz.gov or (480) 503-6010.

“In the future, Gilbert will be a worldwide destination for patient treatment and center for scientists to be trained from basic science to clinical application for stem cells,” said Dr. Nabil Dib, Medical Director and Chief Investigator at the Celebration Stem Cell Centre.
