stem cell transplant

[noora]

I am wondering if the blood bank had a stem cell transplant, Can we change the title of the lab?

What title can we give to include all services?

I would add it to the title. For instance, I my blood bank collected donors, provided blood for transfusion, and participated in stem cell collection and infusion, my department would be called, "Transfusion Medicine, Donor Services, and Cell Therapy Laboratory."

Transfusion Medicine in our institution includes the Blood Bank/Transfusion Service, Donor Service and Stem Cell Processing Laboratory.  Outside each facility we have the relevant signage.  Some places it includes Therapeutic Apheresis, which in our institution is both physically separate (so is our Donor Room) and located in the Dept. of Medicine (Cancer Center).  As long as the facilities are well defined, I'm not sure the overall name matters much, except on stationery, which no one uses much anyway :).
