Histogenics Internship

Being Clean - It's VERRRRY Important!

12/21/2017

 
Today, we learned how to put on sterile gloves.  Don't laugh - the entire operation of growing cloned tissue would be ruined if people weren't super careful about making sure everything was incredibly clean.

​The manufacturing process is a precise procedure that ensures that the NeoCarts are sterile and ready for implantation. The process takes place in what is called the clean room. In the clean room, several steps and precautions are followed to ensure cleanliness and prevent any risk of contamination. Every surface is sprayed nightly to kill bacteria, and HEPA air filters work constantly to remove 99.99% of particles .5 microns or larger, adhering to regulations for ISO Class 7 clean rooms.  Anyone entering must gown up head to toe and at first must pass certification to show that the gowning process is carried out correctly, including clean up crew who come in after hours.

    We are seniors at SJP who are interested in science. Last summer, we participated in a two-week summer internship at Histogenics in Waltham.  Thanks so much to the Histogenics Company for making their time available to us, and especially chief technology officer Steve Kennedy, whose idea it was to make the experience possible.  Thank you!!
