University School of Medicine
Stanford
has been a leader in stem cell research for the past quarter century.
In 2001, Stanford University School of Medicine unveiled a plan to
create five new translational institutes of medicine, one of which
is the Stanford Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine Institute.
The institute was established in 2003 to build on Stanford’s
leadership in stem cell science and to set the foundations for the
creation of a new field of science: regenerative medicine. Under the
direction of renowned stem cell researcher Dr. Irving Weissman, the
institute is devoted to exploring the how stem cells are created,
the mechanisms by which they are regulated and how they devolve into
specialized cells. The ultimate goal is to translate this knowledge
into dramatic new medical therapies for some of the world’s
most serious and intractable afflictions. Finally, as part of Stanford
School of Medicine, the institute is dedicated to training the next
generation of stem cell researchers.
