CURRENT COLLABORATORS
Revalia Bio - Research Exclusive Donation
LifeShare Innovations and Revalia Bio work together to advance biomedical research for individuals with end-stage, malignant lung cancer. With Oklahoma ranking 42 out of 42 nationally for lung cancer survival at 21.2%, and 20% of individuals in the state receiving no follow-up care after a lung cancer diagnosis, there is a critical need for innovative approaches to research and treatment.
As a biotech company, Revalia Bio specializes in biomedical research using human organs rather than animal models. Together, we have established a program known as RED (Research, Education, and Donation). RED provides a unique option for individuals facing terminal illness to contribute to biomedical research using their organs. The collaboration ensures donors understand their gift will not only maximize their legacy but also directly impact the future of cancer care.
