Cellular Dynamics, co-founded by UW-Madison stem cell research pioneer Jamie Thompson, was named as one of the nation's top 15 biotechnology companies by FierceBiotech (www.fiercebiotech.com), an online news source for the biotech industry.
In naming the Madison company one of its "Fierce 15" winners, the Web site notes: "Cellular Dynamics has set out to do something unique in the stem cell field: Make money. Working with the scientific know-how of stem cell pioneer Jamie Thomson at the University of Wisconsin, the company is run by a group of Midwestern pragmatists who believe that stem cells can blaze a new path toward more efficient drug development, offering an early look at how human cells will respond to an experimental therapy. And they've actively begun marketing products in a breakthrough for the entire stem cell field."
FierceBiotech also said the company is unique in the stem cell industry in that it already has a product that can be marketed for drug discovery.
