Extra layers of bureaucracy are needed to coordinate between the two organizations in an attempt to minimize duplication of services which still occur.

That is where gene transplants come in. Anderson has developed a technique using a "marker" that will let Rosenberg follow the progress of the TILs. The marker is the E. coli gene that makes a cell resistant to the antibiotic neomycin. Anderson has been able to tuck that bacterial gene into a virus and then implant the virus into TILs. Once inside the TILs, the gene becomes fully functional...
