Exclusive Video Q&A With Timothy M. Mayleben, CEO of Aastrom Biosciences
LOS ANGELES, CA, Apr 09, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Last month, Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTM) announced that
it had completed an impressive, $40 million private placement
financing. The development was noted as a particularly bullish sign
for emerging biotechs everywhere.
In an exclusive interview, Timothy Mayleben, who has served as
Aastrom's President and CEO since late 2009, explains how the
financing came to be and why investors sought out his firm to place
the big bet on their future.
Aastrom Biosciences is a regenerative medicine company engaged in the
development of autologous cell products for treatment of severe,
chronic cardiovascular diseases. Their proprietary cell-processing
technology enables the manufacture of ixmyelocel-T, a
patient-specific multicellular therapy expanded from a patient's own
bone marrow and delivered directly to damaged tissues. The cellular
therapy resulting from this process contains expanded populations of
mixed stem and progenitor cells to support the regeneration of
cardiovascular tissue. The company's cell manufacturing process works
exclusively with adult stem cells derived from and administered to
the same patient. This approach reduces the risk of rejection and
increases the likelihood of integration with the surrounding tissues,
eliminating the need for immunosuppressive drugs.
