Statement of Research

BRIEF STATEMENT ON RESEARCH

GROWTH, DIFFERENTIATION AND FUNCTION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS IN VITRO
Much attention is being devoted to the potential uses of stem cells in human biology and medicine.  Many of these wide-ranging applications for stem cell technology are based on the assumption that it will be possible to direct the differentiation of cultured stem cells and produce specific cell and tissue types on demand.
However, our understanding of being able to control and exploit the full developmental potential of stem cells is currently limited.  For example, it is proving difficult to duplicate the extent of cell differentiation demonstrated by human embryonic stem cells following transplantation.
The ability to achieve this level of cellular development and engineer tissues of specific types is partly due to our limited capability to control the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell development and provide the appropriate environment cues that support such differentiation and function.  For example, the environment in which cells grow and differentiate in the culture dish is far removed from the complex three dimensional surroundings and interactions with adjacent tissues, which cells experience during growth in the body.
Our research programme is focused on the investigation of cell differentiation and the development of innovative ways to control the development of tissues from stem cells.  In brief, we have three principle lines of investigation:
• Study of the molecular mechanisms that control cell differentiation;
• Development of new strategies to direct the differentiation of cells and tissues;
• Design of more favourable growth conditions for cells in vitro.
More specifically, the following bullet points briefly summarise ongoing work:
• Developing an understanding of the developmental potential of mesenchymal stem cells, in particular, their ability to influence neurogenesis.   Investigation their paracrine role on endogenous cells and their ability to produce trophic factors that influence neural differentiation.
• Investigation of the developmental potential of stem cells following transplantation.  Role of extracellular matrix protein signals, cytokines and surrounding cell types on engrafted stem cells.
• Design and creation of novel technology to enable routine three dimensional culture and demonstration that such technology enhances cell function.  Our technology has given rise to novel equipment that enables tissue engineering on a routine basis utilizing existing cell culture consumable products.
• Design and synthesis of bioactive molecules and novel growth supplements that affect stem cell differentiation and support the culture of specialized cell and tissue types.  The design, synthesis and testing of novel compounds specifically targeted at signaling pathways involved in cell differentiation.  Reagents are developed with applications to stem cell biology and tissue engineering.  We have demonstrated function both in vitro and in vivo during embryogenesis.
• Application of proteomic technology to follow cell differentiation and identify novel biomarkers.
Some of my research is dependent on close collaborations with other research scientists.  The interaction with physical scientists through the Centre for Bioactive Chemistry in Durham and members of NESCI in Newcastle has proven particularly successful.  Aspects of my research programme have commercial potential and feed into the Durham University spin-out company, Reinnervate Limited (see below).
 
Strategic Fit and Other External Income Generation

REINNERVATE LIMITED  (www.reinnervate.com)

About Reinnervate
Reinnervate is developing new and innovative ways to manage the growth and function of cultured cells.  Its technologies have multiple applications and will be particularly relevant to the control of stem cell differentiation.
Reinnervate is a spin-out biotechnology company emanating from research conducted at Durham University.  The Company was established in July 2002 to commerialise technology developed by its founding scientist, Dr Przyborski, working on stem cell biology and developmental neuroscience.
Reinnervate specialises in the development of enabling technologies to facilitate research into cell growth and function in vitro with immediate applications to research and development in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.  Aspects of the Company’s research are also suitable for development into diagnostic tools and have potential therapeutic applications.
The Company has three primary areas of interest:
1. Development of more favourable growth conditions for cells in vitro;
2. Design and synthesis of molecules that control cell differentiation;
3. Development of new strategies in neural stem cell research.
Currently, Reinnervate either directly or indirectly employs around 10 staff, including 6 PhD’s with many years combined experience in cell biology and physical science.  The Company operates from state-of-the-art laboratories within the University and has access to modern research facilities.
The Company has raised >£1.6M from various sources to support its initial research and development programmes and has recently secured £0.97M of inward investment to bring its technologies to market.
The Company has recently started to market its first range of products.  Initial sales have been completed with both academic and industrial buyers in the UK, US and Europe for our 3D cell culture apparatus and small molecules.

Business strategy
The Company has a broad commercial development strategy that exploits our competitive advantages and reflects our research and development programmes. 
The strategy is designed to spread the risk within the company and provide options during the company’s development:
• The development of its patented technology for three-dimensional cell growth is ready to go into production and to market, and this is considered low risk;
• Its programme to design and synthesise synthetic compounds to control cell differentiation is well advanced.  The characterisation of several new candidate molecules is nearing completion, and this is also low risk;
• Its technology for the development of novel neural growth supplement formulations is at an earlier stage and is therefore of higher risk but is potentially of significant commercial value.
Each of these technologies has a defined market.  As the field of cell biology continues to progress, the demand for enabling technologies, such as those under development by Reinnervate, will significantly increase and further enhance their commercial value.
Where appropriate, the Company will adopt a risk-sharing approach by out-licensing its technology to commercial development partners.  Depending on the stage of development for a particular technology, a commercial development partner would either: license the technology directly for immediate commercial exploitation and marketing; or fund the final stages of technology development in preparation for its market offering and eventual sale.  In exchange, Reinnervate would envisage negotiating up-front and milestone payments through to entry of the product onto the market, and royalties on future sales.
Early revenue streams resulting either from the direct sale of Reinnervate’s products or through licensing of its technology will be re-invested into the Company’s research and development programmes.

Reinnervate is uniquely positioned to achieve its business strategy and the following attributes provide the foundations for its success:
• A strong portfolio of innovative enabling technologies
• Experienced management and technical teams, focused on realising the commercial potential of the Company’s technologies
• A multi-disciplinary combination of internationally recognised biological and physical science
• Appropriate patent coverage
• An established development plan and product development portfolio.
