The London Project to Cure Blindness is a 5 year research project that aims to develop a surgical cell therapy for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), which will prevent blindness, restore sight and improve sufferers’ quality of life by 2012.
The first phase aimed to replace the cells at the back of the eye that are affected in AMD, the retinal pigment epithelium cells (RPE), using human embryonic stem cells (hES) that have been transformed into RPE cells. This is on-target to go to human trial in 2012 as planned. We now enter the second phase where we use the patients own cells to create RPE cells that are personalized for them. Advances since the first proof-of-concept trials have made it possible for the procedure to be performed on a day-case basis, with the operation itself taking less-than 1 hour in total. The result is a potential cure for blindness, and a miracle for sufferers of AMD.
The London Project has attracted lots of support since its beginnings in 2007 – from The Macular Disease Society, to the US-based Lincy Foundation and the world's top pharmaceutical company, Pfizer – in addition to the many generous donations from enthusiastic members of the public like you.
Our latest supporter is Storholm Racing, a Le Mans racing team that has devoted itself to raising awareness and funds for The London Project. With a newly designed Formula Le Mans car wearing the colors of The London Project, we are quite literally, racing to cure blindness. We will be striving for victory at the 6 hours of Silverstone in September and the Petit Le Mans in the US in early October. We hope to see you there!

What is the state of R&D, funding, and infrastructure in Europe? This Science|Business Policy Roundtable took place at the UK Representation to the EU in Brussels on 18 October 2012.
Regenerative Medicine is one of the most exciting and promising fields of biomedical research today. Europe currently leads the world in therapeutic applications and medicines in this technology, and has successfully seen the first companies working in the field to spin-out from research universities with EMA approved products currently in the market.
However, with the recent patent ruling by the European Court of Justice and the debate regarding continued funding in Horizon 2020, what challenges exist for Europe to maintain its research lead in this field?
Science|Business hosted a roundtable discussion of thought leaders and policy to make recommendations as to what the EU should do to improve the infrastructure and research climate for new stem cell technologies and regenerative medicines in Europe.

this is Carolyn Tam from Toronto, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid leukemia in late 2006 and it has recently come out of remission. She is now back in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy, but she needs a bone marrow transplant to survive in the long run. Representation for the Asian population is VERY low on the donor database. Spread the word, no matter where you are in the world.
PLEASE register and become a potential donor, you could save a life!! Go to www.onematch.ca!!!!
She also has a group on Facebook, "Bone Marrow Drive for Carolyn Tam"
Thanks for your support!!
