Th...David: Thank you for bringing up these issues. The reviewers put forward 4 acceptable choices, and it is up to the ICOC to choose the one they believe is best for the future of stem cell therapies. My position is clear-as a scientist and as a taxpayer, I want to invest the money, not just spend it. <br />I am the program director of the Scripps-Illumina proposal, and we propose to provide clinically valuable genomics tools that will enable stem cell researchers in the future, not just for the 5 year funding of the program.. <br />I hope that the ICOC will consider and discuss all four Tier 1 applications- the reviewers liked them all, for different reasons.<br />Jeanne LoringJeanne Loringhttp://www.scripps.edunoreply@blogger.com
