“Last week Friday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the launch of the Advanced Cell and Gene Therapy Clinical Fellowship, a groundbreaking partnership between Roswell Park and San Juan City Hospital, during the traditional Governor’s Reception at the SOMOS conference in Puerto Rico.
Through this one-year fellowship, a physician from Puerto Rico will receive specialized training at Roswell Park, gaining hands-on experience in cellular therapy and access to the center’s world-class research and manufacturing capabilities.
Roswell Park’s Brian Betts, Vice Chair of Strategic Initiatives in Transplant and Cellular Therapy, helped develop the fellowship using guidelines established by the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. His leadership will help advance this important collaboration and expand opportunities for specialized cancer care in Puerto Rico.
‘Expanding access to advanced cancer treatments requires continued investment in research, innovation and the physicians who deliver that care,’ Governor Hochul said. ‘By working with our partners in Puerto Rico, we can help strengthen their ability to provide cutting-edge cell and gene therapies while creating new opportunities for collaboration and discovery at Roswell Park. Bringing our medical institutions together will allow us to make important strides in the fight against cancer.’
This partnership is about more than medical training. It is about strengthening healthcare in Puerto Rico, advancing innovation and helping bring cutting-edge cancer treatments closer to the patients and families who need them.
