Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc. in collaboration with and support of Dr. Ewart. and Wanda Brown announces a new stem cell research center to be opened in Bermuda in late 2007. Jointly sponsored by Stemedica and Dr. Ewart Brown, Premier of Bermuda and his wife, Wanda Henton Brown, the clinic will be named the Brown-Darrell Research Clinic after Dr. Brown's parents. The clinic will be accredited as a Licensed Treatment Center by Stemedica, offering revolutionary treatment using adult stem cell technologies for conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes and diseases of the eye.
Stemedica is a biopharmaceutical company based in San Diego, California, that develops adult stem cell lines and licenses the technology and treatment to worldwide centers. The Company has been in discussion with Dr. and Mrs. Brown for eighteen months. Stemedica's CEO, Dr. Maynard Howe said "Our adult stem cell technology offers hope for patients for whom every other resource has been exhausted. Through our existing and upcoming treatment centers, patients have new choices for their future. We are always looking for new locations. The Brown's efforts bought us to Bermuda. They are partners that get it - they understand medical innovation."
Mrs. Brown, who will be the new clinic's consulting CEO, said, "It is our every hope and intention that what we do at Brown-Darrell will help to lay the groundwork for treatment of patients and contribute to the research being conducted in this field that will someday make stem cell treatment available to all who need it."
Welcomed by Bermudan Bishop Ewan Ratteray and Roman Catholic Bishop Robert Kurtz for its focus on adult stem cells as the source for treatments, the island is an ideal location. Dr Maynard Howe said, "Bermuda's infrastructure and proximity to the US make it a natural fit. We are looking forward to a very successful partnership."
