If I remember correctly, he was also a co-founder of atleast a part of a biotech company "SystemiX" which was founded by people from his group. I agree Big Pharma is no angel but I find it hard to believe that big Pharma could stop him from taking his discoveries into therapeutics at his own company. Anyway thats my two cents worth on this topic!

dear girija,
amgen took the gdnf from our very own PD patients, after they saw them getting out of wheel chairs,
have you actually seen anyone cure with their own stem cells - w/ PD
I have - Dr. Levesque used a similiar technique, that worked for a PD patient for 5 years, (his own stem cells"
that was almost 10 years ago - bigpharma isnt interested in cures?
they believe in making money...
they have to consider - how to continue making money,
we pushed and shoved Amgen - but the wallet with the most green wins!
