Where things stand — an update from Partaap’s mum

← All family updates

Partaap’s mum shares where things are at. The research team has been assembled, and the family will share the team members’ names on Instagram and social media. The next step is for Partaap’s cells to be sent from the biobank in London to the team in California. Before that can happen, the legal agreements and contracts have to be completed under the UK’s strict rules on human tissue, which also protect Partaap and any therapy that comes from the research. The family are in a waiting phase and hope to have the go-ahead by the end of October, with the work hopefully starting next year. Partaap pops in to say hello and share a milestone of his own: his tooth has come out. 2 minutes 20 seconds.
