Today, Senator the Hon. Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, opened the Australian Stem Cell Centre’s (ASCC) Brisbane laboratories at the University of Queensland.
The ASCC’s Queensland laboratories include the first human embryonic stem cell production facility in the state. The ASCC’s human embryonic stem cell lines are now available to Brisbane based stem cell scientists who are using the cells to investigate the potential of the cells in the treatment of blood related diseases and kidney disease.
The Queensland cell lines are expanded from existing human embryonic stem cell lines, known as MEL1 and MEL2, created in Melbourne.
