ST. JOSEPH, Mich., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- GeneGo, Inc., the leading systems biology tools company, announced today that Professor Nicol Keith of the University of Glasgow will join the MetaMiner Stem Cell Partnership Program. The goal of the program is to develop a series of blueprint pathway maps for Adult, Embryonic, Fetal, Fibroblasts, Hematopoietic, Mesenchymal, Multipotent, Neoplastic, Pluripotent and Totipotent stem cells.
“We feel that it is important to support such an initiative as there is a lot of stem cell information in the literature but no one has brought it all together in a set of comprehensive pathway maps,” said Nicol Keith, Professor of Molecular Oncology. “This initiative will allow researchers to have more of a global perspective and allows newcomers to the field to get up to speed quickly.”
“Professor Nicol Keith, of the University of Glasgow in Scotland is world renowned for his pioneering work in cellular immortality and we are pleased to have him on our team,” said Julie Bryant, GeneGo’s VP of Business Development. “We have a lot of experience at building pathway maps and we plan to have 10 types of stem cell pathway maps completed in 24 months.”
