Firstly, Shiv – wish you a speedy recovery my friend, fingers crossed that your shoulder repair works…
Now to business…
Gem, by definition, if the FDA requires a stem cell approved lab then Andrews already has one – they’re processing stem cells extracted from bone marrow so it must already be in place to meet FDA requirements!
However, if the AREF building isn’t fully completed then the Andrews Institute may only have minimal lab facilities to deliver the services that they need at the moment; I imagine the research activities that they intend to carry out will have far more extensive support facilities, including labs.
I can understand why the staff at Andrews might be a little cagey about Shiv’s questions; if there are studies ongoing then technically the treatment isn’t available at the moment, unless you happen to be a retired sportsman, with knee pain, and you’re invited to take part in the trial.
Of course if the study isn’t going ahead or has finished then technically the treatment isn’t available at Andrews.
Who knows, more assumptions and inferences but possible nevertheless…
I also remember comments a while ago about how Andrews has pulled out because of notices saying that share issues to AREF has been put on hold – if AREF didn’t technically exist or wasn’t actually functioning it would be difficult to justify the issue of shares. Perhaps the overdue 10k will give us a better insight into what’s happening…
Thought...
