10th permission for stem cell research has been granted
The Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, which is the authority responsible for applications for the import and use of human embryonic stem cells, has granted the tenth permission for stem cell research.
It has been given to Professor Oliver Brüstle at the Institute for Reconstructive Neurobiology at the University Clinic in Bonn. Professor Brüstle is working on new methods of getting specific types of nerve cells and neural cells of a particularly high purity. The level of purity is a prerequisite for their later use in cell transplantation as a treatment for neurodegenerative disorders. In 2002 Brüstle was the first German researcher to be granted permission to carry out stem cell research. This has now been extended for a further five years.
