Houston Methodist recently opened a lab designed to accelerate the development of new, lifesaving treatments for a broad spectrum of conditions, including cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders. The Ann Kimball & John W. Johnson Center for Cellular Therapeutics, located in the Houston Methodist Outpatient Center in the Texas Medical Center, was created with a generous philanthropic commitment from longtime Houston Methodist supporters Ann Kimball and John W. Johnson. Their transformational gift supports scientific leadership and research funding for the 5,000 square-foot lab, research program and Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) production facility where new therapies and investigational therapeutics will be developed.
