How ironic. The reason that this Institute developed an interest into
examining the use of fetal tissue in treating chronic disease stemmed
from Dr. Kopyov joining the program. He came here from the Ukraine
where he had been performing fetal tissue research for years, on a wide
variety of medical problems. Parkinson's disease being just one.
