This is the first time that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If it works, (patients) will be cured. It will be their own cells, so we don't plan to use any immune suppression or any drug.

We are very excited to begin the clinical trial and see if this process will work in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

If we can have only one patient feeling better, I will be happy. I want to see one kid who is going around with an ice cream cone and not feeling guilty.

For me, a career highlight was being on 'Battlestar Galactica.' Roles like that don't come along very often.

That's probably fair to say that there is a certain amount of pressure to deliver your next role when you do have a fan base as potent as the 'Battlestar Galactica' family. There was certainly a lot of curiosity to all of us on that show - what are you going to do next? Where can we see you next? That was a question we got more often than not.
