Minister for Public Health Shona Robison officially opens the Scottish Base of Stem Cell Companies

24 Sep 2007 - Cellartis AB is in the process of creating highly skilled jobs at its R&D and manufacturing facility in Dundee at its premises at Mclagan House at the city's Medipark.
 
The company was attracted to Scotland to take part in a £9.5million ITI Life Sciences programme and was supported with a Scottish Executive grant of £1.2million in RSA.
 
Stem cell research offers huge potential for the life science sector in Scotland. Scottish academic studies in this field, as well as the location of a number of international stem cell players here, means it is viewed as one of the country's major strengths. The programme Cellartis is involved in and its focus on collaborative research will accelerate Scottish activity in this area and provide an endorsement of Scotland's prominence.
