The Experimental Therapeutics Program (ETP) is a program established within the unique MNI environment to pursue a mission of bridging basic research in neurobiology and immunology with human studies of neurological and immune-mediated diseases. The ETP accomplishes this mission through the establishment of core laboratory platforms that integrate fundamental research activities with rigorous studies on human biological samples derived from well-characterized patient populations. The goal of the program is to expedite the development and formal evaluation of emerging therapies aimed at halting and ultimately reversing disability caused by neurological disease.

Core facility that provides the following services: Rodent and Porcine Islet Isolation Services, Training Services. The main objective of the Islet Isolation Core is to provide Islets of Langerhans to investigators in the Boston area and beyond. By receiving islets from the Core one is assured of consistent high quality and purity of islets for experiments. The Core can isolate rodent and neonatal porcine islets. This leaves the investigator to concentrate on experiments rather than the complexity of islet isolation. The Core can buy the animals or the investigator can provide their own, such as special transgenic mice. Over the last five years the Core has isolated more than 10 million islets. They also provide training and advice. The Core can provide training not only for the isolation procedure but islet viability, islet size measurement, GSIS (Glucose Stimulated Insulin Secretion), STZ-induced diabetes, transplantation under the kidney capsule, and islet graft retrieval.
