Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. ("ACT"; OTCBB: ACTC) is a biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for the treatment of diseases that impact millions of people worldwide. The company is currently conducting the only ongoing, FDA-cleared human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-based human clinical trials. The two trials, initiated in July 2011 at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute, use retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells derived from hESCs to treat forms of macular degeneration. ACT also recently received approval from the UK Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to conduct the first hESC trial in Europe. The company is also developing its Hemangioblast (HG) platform for the treatment of blood and cardiovascular diseases, its Phase II-cleared Myoblast stem cell therapy for the treatment of chronic heart failure and other cardiac conditions, and other programs.
ACT's principal laboratory and GMP facility is in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and its corporate offices are in Santa Monica, California. ACT is led by an experienced management team and a world-class scientific team helmed, respectively, by interim chairman and CEO Gary Rabin and chief scientific officer Robert Lanza, M.D
