Welcome ...
Thank you for supporting Children’s Medical Research Institute,
we hope you have a fabulous evening!
1
Thank you for
joining us this
evening at the
Denim Dinner.
This event celebrates the 25th
Anniversary of the Jeans for
Genes campaign, and the start
of Children’s Medical Research
Institute’s 60th year.
2
Children’s Medical Research Institute
has always had one single, crystal-clear
purpose: to carry out the medical research
required to prevent or treat serious
childhood illnesses.
We believe this is
the only way to
help the 1 in 20 Professor Frank Martin, President of the CMRI Board
children facing
a birth defect or
genetic disease.
The Jeans for Genes campaign funds this
genetic research, and the many advances
we have made to date would not have
been possible without your support.
Thank you.
Professor Roger Reddel, Lorimer Dods Professor & Director
We are now at the stage where new
advances are making it possible to achieve
far more for children with inherited
diseases than we even dreamed of when
the Jeans for Genes campaign began. We
believe we are on the cusp of developing
effective new treatments, and in some
cases cures, for children who through
no fault of their own are suffering from
serious diseases that were previously
considered untreatable.
For these children, time is of the essence.
Let’s make this Denim Dinner the best ever.

Corning® Dissolvable Microcarriers
It’s time to face the music. For Cell Therapy and other applications, traditional
microcarriers do not always hit the right note. Difficulty separating precious cells from
traditional microcarriers may result in lower yields of healthy cells in the final product.
New Corning® Dissolvable Microcarriers:
Simplify cell harvest, separation, and concentration processes
Arrive pre-sterilized and pre-coated with your selected surface coating
of either denatured collagen or Synthemax® to enhance cell attachment
Are easily dissolved with a solution of EDTA and pectinase within 10 to 20
minutes, without the need for microcarrier separation.
Offer a cell separation that is faster, gentler and more convenient than
that of standard commercially available microcarriers.
Dissolvable Microcarriers are ideal for those who need to produce large cell quantities for Cell Therapy and Vaccine Production.
