Mission

The mission of the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine is to create a stem cell research environment that fosters a broad range of interdisciplinary work designed to fully understand stem cell biology, while at the same time affecting human health and disease. The Center is driven by an imperative to work quickly from bench science to the actual use of discoveries to transform medicine. Research is targeted and will transition from lab bench, to bedside, to community, and then back again to the lab to address new problems.

The Center will create a stem cell research initiative that will foster a broad range of interdisciplinary research including:

• All kinds of stem cells, from all species
• Basic and translational research
• Public, private, and corporate institutions

Developing novel diagnostic methods, treatments, and preventions for major human diseases will be a key, immediate part of each major project at the Center.
