Our Story
We provide information, education, facilitation, and access to advanced stem cell treatments. We act as sponsor, and Dr. Levy as Chair & Study Director, for clinical trials and treatments involving bone marrow stem cells in Ophthalmic and Neurologic disease.
Our Vision
Many diseases and injuries have no medical approaches that can recover the function that has been lost. For many patients, their first encounter with a disease or injury results in the realization that they are on their own—that the medical and pharmaceutical community, for all their success in certain diseases, can offer them little benefit. Focused on clinical and translational research, we have found new and innovative approaches to improve vision damaged by disease and help patients with multiple neurologic diseases.
We are on a journey to treat within clinical studies and publish our results to change care patients' standard of care. Patients choosing to participate in our studies must understand that results cannot be predicted for individual patients. Even in diseases where we have shown statistically significant benefit, there is no guarantee that a particular patient will benefit from treatment.
Our Technology
Stem cells are a new and innovative form of treatment. Research has shown that these cells can help form and repair tissues all over the body. We believe strongly that bone-marrow-derived stem cells have important benefits over other types of stem cells, including a 30x better ability to travel through the lungs to the capillary beds of the brain, eyes, and spinal cord.
While the pharmaceutical industry continues efforts to create cell-based products, we believe that harnessing the human body’s repair mechanisms can now produce important benefits.
