When does a financially struggling
biotech company turn down a $20 million “forgivable loan?”

“The funding would have been in the
form of a forgivable loan, however, we have elected not to borrow
these funds from CIRM(the stem cell agency).”

“You may also recall that last
September, CIRM approved a separate application under the same
disease team program for Alzheimer's disease, which was also for up
to $20 million in the form of a loan. We remain in confidential
negotiations with CIRM regarding the terms and conditions that would
attach to this loan.”

Nakae: “Okay. Just 2 more questions.
I guess the first one, as it relates to CIRM.
In deciding to decline the funding for spinal cord yet continuing to
pursue the funding for Alzheimer's, is there a difference in what
you're getting from them in terms of potential terms and conditions
that allow you to proceed on one and not the other, or is it the fact
that you're already in human with -- in spine, and still very
preclinical with Alzheimer's?”

McGlynn: :”I think you're very
definitely -- you're getting at some important criteria when one
considers how to fund programs whether you use debt or equity,
etcetera. So I wouldn't disagree with anything that you've outlined
or surmised. But I just would pray your indulgence until we're
finished, the negotiations with CIRM, which are coming to a close and
we expect those to resolve pretty quickly with regards to the
Alzheimer's program. And then quite frankly, we can be way more
forthcoming and way more disclosive with regards not only to our
decisions, but to our thinking.”

A post entitled Funding for Personalized Medicine Research, dated January 31, 2012, provided information about the participation of the Cancer Stem Cell Consortium (CSCC) in the Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition of Genome Canada, in collaboration with the first phase of the Personalized Medicine Signature Initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

On March 26, 2013, it was announced that 17 projects will be supported. A list of these project is available (PDF). One of the 17 projects is entitled "Innovative chemogenomic tools to improve outcome in acute myeloid leukemia". The Project leader is Guy Sauvageau of the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) at the Université de Montréal. The Project co-leader is Josée Hébert of the Centre de Recherche Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, Montréal. One of the aims of this project is to develop new models for tracking cancer stem cells that are left behind after a patient is treated.
