The Richard D. Frisbee III Cellular Processing Laboratory is an integral part of the YNHH cellular therapy/bone marrow transplant program. This FACT and AABB accredited laboratory performs routine processing, storage, and infusion of cellular products including peripheral blood-derived stem cells, bone marrow-derived stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and other cellular products.

The laboratory is a state-of-the-art ISO Class 7 clean room facility. This laboratory was designed with the goal of performing clinical scale human stem cell isolation and manipulation that will improve upon existing treatments for cancer and hematological diseases. The laboratory was funded predominantly through a grant from the Richard D. Frisbee III Foundation.
