The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is allowing CFD Research Corporation (CFDRC) researchers to continue their stem cell separation technology.
“The DOD really thinks this is a promising technology. They want to invest more effort and more resources on it,” says Yi Wang, Ph.D., CFDRC director of biomedical technology director.
