This excerpt taken from the PSTI 10-K filed Sep 29, 2008. Ongoing Research and Development Plan. On July 9,2007 we announced that we were entering into Collaborative Research Agreement with the Center for Regenerative Therapies at Charite University Hospital of Berlin (BCRT). Pluristem and BCRT are collaborating on a variety of indications utilizing adherent stromal cells derived from the placenta that have been expanded in the Companys proprietary bioreactor. The initial focus of the collaboration is on neurological and autoimmune disorder indications such as Multiple Sclerosis. The agreement also covers organ transplantation and cardiovascular indications such as inflammatory cardiomyopathy. According to the agreement we will be the exclusive owner of the technology and any products produced as a result of the collaboration. Our manufacturing facilities are placed in Haifa, Israel. The manufacturing facility has been approved as a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standard site for the purpose of manufacturing PLX cells. The R&D and manufacturing facilities include 7,000 square feet in total. We receive the placentas used for our research activities from one hospital in Israel. Any medical waste related to the use of placentas is treated in compliance with environmental laws and standards. Once we have completed products ready for commercialization, we will evaluate our various sale and marketing alternatives, including licensing of our technology to other companies, manufacturing and direct sales or entering into marketing collaborations. |
