“The University of Oxford, now ranked
as fourth in the world has received a new boost with a £1.2
million award to build a state of the art facility for isolating
human pancreatic islets. The facility, designed and built
by CRC will be based within the Oxford Centre for Diabetes,
Endocrinology and Metabolism (OCDEM Centre) at the Churchill
Hospital in Oxford ”

CRC were
employed on a full design and build basis to provide the facility
in an existing building within the recently opened (OCDEM)
Centre.

| Project
Outline: |
|
CRC were selected on a two
stage design and build open book basis. After the successful
design and tendering stage Jim Muir and Barry Askew were appointed
as our Project Engineer and Site Manager.
The eye catching facility was completed to meet the demanding
MHRA licensing requirements with EC GMP Grade B aseptic handling
areas and Grade C preparation areas. All open processing is
carried out in Grade A Class 2 microbiological safety cabinets.
Paul Johnson, Director of the Islet Transportation Programme
said: “This is a very exciting time for the field of
islet transplantation. We have known for many years that this
procedure could reverse type 1 diabetes in the research setting
but now we have seen this demonstrated in clinical trials.
The grant will enable Oxford to remain in the forefront of
this technology”
