MISSION STATEMENT
To conduct innovative scientific research and technological development, provide quality laboratory services for the medical community and the patients we serve, and establish and maintain educational programs.
     VISION
Our vision is to pursue a better understanding of the immune response; identify ways to abrogate unwanted immune responses in the treatment of rejection, graft versus host disease and immunologic disorders; define the immunogenetic basis of diseases; and support the development of new and improved vaccines.
