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
