Our Mission
The Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) is committed to the ethical pursuit of basic research to unleash the enormous potential of stem cells and thereby develop therapies that improve patient health worldwide.
The Institute, founded in March 2006, consists of a world-class team of over
130 faculty conducting basic research on stem and progenitor cells. The
Institute is linked by the shared commitment of the faculty to leverage this
research to develop improved therapies, and cures, for patients.
