Advanced Cell Technology's Technology Platform Positioned To Receive Federal Funding Last Update: 12/17/2008 8:11:13 AM
Advanced Cell Technology's Technology Platform Positioned To Receive Federal Funding WORCESTER, Mass., Dec 17, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (ACTC) announced today that its technology platform, which utilizes a single cell biopsy that does not destroy the embryo, is well positioned to receive Federal funding under the new administration led by President-Elect Barrack Obama. The Company has the only technology that can produce stem cell lines of all types without the destruction of the embryo. Funding of these types of technologies is expected to be a high priority of the incoming Administration.
"We believe there is no technology available for clinical use today except the Company's platform which utilizes stem cell derived therapies," said William M. Caldwell IV, Chairman and CEO of Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. "As a result, our technology has generated interest from both domestic and international companies seeking to capitalize on the role that stem cells can play in a broad range of regenerative medicines. We continue to explore partnering opportunities while focusing on filing an IND next year for our retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells program."
Earlier this month, the Company announced the formation of a new international joint venture. The new company - Allied Cell Technology - will develop human blood cells and other clinical therapies based on ACTC's proprietary hemangioblast cell technology. ACTC will exclusively license to the joint venture, which will be majority owned by CHA Biotech Co, Ltd. (CHA), all of its hemangioblast technology. CHA will contribute working capital for the venture as well as paying Advanced Cell a license fee of $500,000.
