"If GE’s strategy of investment in China is wrong...

...it represents a loss of a billion dollars, perhaps a couple of billion dollars. If it is right, it is the future of this company for the next century.”

 - Jack Welsh


China,…the very word conjures up images of vast numbers of people; ancient wisdom, Terra Cotta warriors; and now, relentless global expansion and growth.  A country which until recently did not even believe in personal property, now demands that companies rethink how they view their world wide intellectual property as they eye China’s enormous internal markets.   “A riddle wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in mystery” indeed.

Whither Now?

What to Make of Geron's Being Put On Hold

Geron announced last week that their IND for an embryonic stem cell product for spinal cord injury has been put on hold.  They did not say why, but simply stated that they did not yet have definitive written reasons from the FDA.
