Cash boost for Dolly creators
By FWi staff
PPL THERAPEUTICS, which created Dolly the sheep, is to receive a 10m cash injection from German drugs and chemical group Bayer, reports The Times.
This is part of a licensing deal for a PPL drug to treat cystic fibrosis and emphysema.
PPL intends to produce a flock of 2,000 genetically modified sheep in New Zealand and extract the drug from their milk for purification in Scotland.
