Stem Cell Sciences Ltd gains DTI support for cutting edge programme
The consortium, lead by Edinburgh based SCS, links the Institute for Stem Cell Research, at the University of Edinburgh (ISCR), University College London Biochemical Engineering (UCL), GE Biosciences, Global Research Centre (GE-GRC) and the Insight Faraday Partnership (IFP).
The joint program will meld world class stem cell expertise (ISCR & SCS), leaders in biomedical engineering & automated imaging (UCL & GE Healthcare) and specialist support in high-throughput technology expertise (IFP). The project will develop high-throughput cell screening to speed the discovery of drug based regenerative medicines. Embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into any other cell type, will be used to produce high density arrays of specific cell types in formats suitable for screening.
