BD Biosciences and StemCell Technologies Sign License Agreements with WARF
Commercialization of Novel Culture Media and Surfaces for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The agreements also mark the beginning of a strategic collaboration between BD Biosciences and StemCell Technologies, which aims to provide products that are superior in quality, performance and reliability to facilitate and support the field of stem cell research. The development of these products arises from primary research performed by Dr. James Thomson and Dr. Tenneille Ludwig at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and the WiCell(TM) Research Institute, a non-profit subsidiary of WARF.
The first commercial products expected from these new license agreements and collaboration are a defined medium and compatible tissue culture surface to support the feeder-independent maintenance of hESC - a major advance in current state-of-the-art cell culture conditions.
