OPC1 Clinical Program
John Steeves, B.Sc., Ph.D., Emeritus Principal Investigator, ICORD, Professor, Department of Neuroscience, University of British Columbia
Dr. Steeves is currently a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia and a Principal Investigator and Founding Director of ICORD (International Collaboration On Repair Discoveries), an interdisciplinary research centre focused on spinal cord injury. He also serves as the Chair of SCOPE (Spinal Cord Outcomes Partnership Endeavor), which works on translating discoveries to clinical trials. He obtained his B.Sc. and Ph.D. at the University of Manitoba and completed his Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Alberta.
After a long career in basic science research, Dr. Steeves has turned his attention to translational research, making application of research to patients a higher priority. His current research focuses on arm and hand rehabilitation after spinal cord injuries. His goal is to improve rehabilitation strategies by using assistive robots and virtual-reality training. With a number of colleagues from across the globe, Dr. Steeves also works on developing better criteria for enrolling participants in SCI clinical trials, and on improving outcome measures of the electrical properties of the body and the nervous system. Better measurements of the outcomes of clinical trials can establish how well they help people with SCI, and therefore promote better recovery.
Dr. Steeves also collaborates with EMSCI (European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury) to analyze the database on SCI patients and their injuries to determine better clinical trial protocols.
About Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
Lineage Cell Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel cell therapies for unmet medical needs. Lineage’s programs are based on its proprietary cell-based therapy platform and associated development and manufacturing capabilities. With this platform Lineage develops and manufactures specialized, terminally-differentiated human cells from its pluripotent and progenitor cell starting materials. These differentiated cells are developed either to replace or support cells that are dysfunctional or absent due to degenerative disease or traumatic injury or administered as a means of helping the body mount an effective immune response to cancer. Lineage’s clinical assets include (i) OpRegen®, a retinal pigment epithelium transplant therapy in Phase I/IIa development for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the developed world; (ii) OPC1, an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell therapy in Phase I/IIa development for the treatment of acute spinal cord injuries; and (iii) VAC2, an allogeneic cancer immunotherapy of antigen-presenting dendritic cells currently in Phase I development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Lineage is also evaluating potential partnership opportunities for Renevia®, a facial aesthetics product that was recently granted a Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark.
