Cellular Dynamics International and Roche Expand Existing Cardiotoxicity Screening Agreement
Date:7/1/2009

r overt cardiotoxicity. CDI's iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes could overcome these limitations by providing a human-based, genetically diverse, virtually unlimited cell supply. Together these attributes provide a platform expected to streamline drug development and more accurately predict human physiological responses.

"We are thrilled with the expansion of our Roche human cardiomyocyte program," said Robert Palay, CDI Chief Executive Officer. "We view this as the next logical step in providing Roche with high quality iPSC-derived human cardiomyocytes in sufficient volumes for their drug toxicity and development needs, thereby helping to bring safe and effective medicines to patients faster."

Commenting on the expanded agreement, Chris Kendrick-Parker, CDI Chief Commercial Officer, said, "CDI well understands the limitations associated with current in vitro testing models that do not appropriately reflect the target cell population and physiology. Our iPSC technology overcomes these obstacles and offers the promise of generating differentiated cell types, even personalized cell types, from virtually any genetic background. We believe iPSC technology will play a pivotal role as drug discovery and development practices continue to evolve toward personalized therapeutics, and we are excited to be working with a world-class organization such as Roche in this endeavour."
