Article Abstract:

Michael Rudnicki, senior scientist and director at Ottawa Health Research Institute discusses his partnership relationships with emerging Canadian companies in stem cell research and biotech companies like Invitrogen that design stem cell technologies. He feels that many investigators of stem cell research have left the U.S. and moved to the U.K., as they could not do their work with embryonic stem cells.
