U.S. Representative Erin Houchin Tours Ossium Health's Indianapolis Facility, Highlighting Biotechnology Advancements
U.S. Representative Erin Houchin recently visited Ossium Health's Indianapolis production facility. During her visit, she observed the manufacturing operations of the world's first bone marrow bank, which sources bone marrow from deceased organ donors. Representative Houchin commended Ossium Health for its life-saving work and its significant contribution to Indiana's biotechnology sector. She toured the production and laboratory spaces and engaged with the company's leadership and scientific team to understand their efforts in improving treatment outcomes for patients suffering from life-threatening blood and immune diseases. To date, 29 patients have received transplants using Ossium's organ donor-derived bone marrow, with four of these patients located in Indiana. Kevin Caldwell, Ossium's CEO, Co-Founder & President, emphasized the importance of legislative leaders witnessing their work firsthand, as each graft released from the facility provides a life-saving option for patients.
