Stem Cell Assurance's cryopreservation facility will offer multiple storage processes and units, enabling the Company to offer a variety of options for clients, and uniquely positioning Stem Cell Assurance to offer a wide variety of choices for patients. An adult autologous stem cell culture lab will also be built in this facility. Adult stem cells will be obtained from patients' own fat or blood and are not derived from embryonic cells. In addition, the funding will enable Stem Cell Assurance to begin its research model using stem cells in treating diabetes.
Stem Cell Assurance will also open twelve additional liposuction collection facilities identical to the existing center in Boca Raton under the subsidiary "Lipo Rejuvenation Centers, Inc." The Company is projecting a minimum of eight (8) procedures per month, per center. This will be enhanced by airing 30 second television and radio commercials to promote the centers.
Stem Cell Assurance provides its clients with stem cell collection and storage services for personal use in medical stem cell therapies and as bio-insurance for future stem cell applications and disease treatments. The Company also provides genetic profile testing that can determine if a person has a genetic condition or predisposition to a certain disease in the future. The Company continues to probe other areas of discovery including medical therapies in an effort to develop improved results for its customers.
