Our institution is a tertiary-care academic pediatric medical center that combines care of severely ill children, research into the causes and treatments of childhood disorders, and training of the next…
The intent of the proposed shared research facility is to provide a state-wide resource for qualified scientists in California to study human embryonic stem cells (hESC) without federal restrictions. The…
Our plan is to establish a ~ 4,700 sq. ft. shared research laboratory dedicated to the experimental manipulation and ultimate clinical application of human embryonic stem cells (hESC). This Shared…
Human ES (hES) cells offer the opportunity to be converted into replacement tissues for diseased organs and provide cures for diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and a host of neurological disorders.…
Age-related diseases of the nervous system are major challenges for biomedicine in the 21st century. These disorders, which include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and stroke,…
The therapeutic use of stem cells in regenerative medicine will require the ability to control stem cell expansion and differentiation into specific tissue types, such as pancreatic ?-cells, heart tissue,…
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has a long history of making innovative discoveries that change the way scientists and clinicians think about disease processes and their approaches to…
Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research promises to be of fundamental importance in the study and treatment of various human diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and organ failure. In recent…
Regenerative medicine is an emerging area that will only realize its great potential through novel collaborative research approaches, and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) is well positioned…
