The Funding Model for Cancer Innovation is Broken — We Can Fix It
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
According to the company website, the “centerpiece” of its expansion is the “XC-marrow ECM™, a patented “extracellular matrix” laid down by human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)–a 3D microenvironment that allows stem cells to replicate more rapidly and with greater preservation of stem cell phenotypes (“stemness”) than traditional tissue culture plastic. It allows SBS to grow stem cells from sources such as adipose tissue, bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, opening up potential for research, pharmaceutical and novel clinical uses.”
Officers include Davis, Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Xiao-Dong Chen, Edward “Sy” Griffey and CEO Peter Savas.
