I am considering joining a company called Aastrom. They have technology consisting of a clinical cell culture system for use in the stem cell therapy market. They just completed a clinical study,in which bone marrow cells grown from a small amount of material outside a patient's body (ex vivo) retained the stem and other key immune cells needed to restore vital tissues completely. The implication is that what is an in-patient procedure now can be converted to a much cheaper out-patient procedure. What are the key questions one should ask in assessing the viability of this technology? I do have a biotech background, but have worked in a management mode for the last four years and my science is somewhat rusty. Where else should I post to get an answer? Cheers, Thomas P.S.
