Worcester's Advanced Cell Technology Inc. reported a third quarter net loss of $1.2 million compared to a $12.6 million loss for the same period last year.

While the loss narrowed during the third quarter, for the first nine months of the year, the company reported a net loss of $49.6 million compared to a $27.7 million loss for the same period a year ago.

The stem cell-focused biopharmaceutical developer also announced that it has extended Chief Scientific Officer Robert P. Lanza's contract for another two years.

Lanza will be paid a base salary of $375,000 with bonus options, according to a document filed with the SEC.
