Summit, having helped launch an autologous dopamine neuron replacement therapy for Parkinson\u2019s disease now has the role of an educator, we monitor and provide information on the stem cell-based research project\u2019s development as it works to receive FDA-approval to begin the clinical trial process. Having transferred the body of science Summit for Stem Cell Foundation is detached and has no influence in the pilot study and the clinical trial(s). Summit is a resource for information only for the pilot study and the clinical trial(s).
