25 May Cellular Dynamics enters collaboration with Michael J. Fox Foundation
Pioneering stem cell company Cellular Dynamics International Inc. of Madison said Wednesday that it has entered into a collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research that’s designed to help develop new therapies for Parkinson’s disease.
Under the agreement, Cellular Dynamics will derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 85 people in the Michael J. Fox Foundation-sponsored Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). The stem cells will be provided to the scientific community, along with the rich available clinical and imaging data on the volunteers in the study, to develop and accelerate new treatments for the disease.
