Cellular Dynamics International is on a fast track, with high hopes of becoming the first company to get stem-cell technology into the marketplace and the first to show a profit – in spite of major stem- cell efforts in other states, such as California.
Housed in the MGE Innovation Center at University Research Park, Cellular Dynamics expects to start providing drug screening services in early 2006. The company will use cells derived from kidney cells, modified to have some properties of human heart cells, to test drugs for heart patients.
