University of Wisconsin-Madison welcomes effort to renew stem cell funding

The Obama administration?s court filing Tuesday on embryonic stem cell research was welcomed by the director of UW-Madison?s stem cell center, where some research soon will cease unless the block on federal funds is lifted.

“Researchers will be enthusiastic toward any approach that will allow this important research to continue,” said Dr. Tim Kamp, director of the university?s Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center. “If this can be expeditiously moved through the court system, we?d be delighted.”
