In a letter dated 20/3/2019 the Chief Executive of this charity stated: “I can … confirm that the National Eye Research Centre funds early stage, fundamental scientific research where the use of embryonic stem cells does largely not apply. To date, we have not funded such research and we are not likely to fund it in the future.”
The National Eye Research Centre “Policy on funding research making use of embryonic stem cells” states: “The National Eye Research Centre funds research carried out in universities and other research institutions across the UK which abide by the guidelines issued by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.” [#AMRC#]
