Objective
The mission of California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) is to accelerate stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs.
The overall objective of the CIRM Research Training Program is foster and enhance the research experience of basic and clinical scientists during the doctoral and immediate postdoctoral stages of their career. Specific objectives are to:
-
Enable training programs that create future leaders in the stem cell, gene therapy and regenerative medicine fields.
-
Foster a commitment among trainees to the goal of accelerating the delivery of treatments to patients with unmet needs.
-
Broaden the participation in regenerative medicine of individuals representing the diversity of California’s population.
-
Provide research training in stem cell, gene therapy and related disciplines to a diverse cadre of individuals drawn from a wide variety of scientific backgrounds, including, but not limited to fundamental biology (e.g., developmental biology, neuroscience, molecular biology), engineering (e.g., bioengineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering/computer science), clinical programs (e.g., medicine, surgery, neurology, cardiology), and other relevant areas (e.g., manufacturing process development, data science, regulatory science, bioethics, etc.).
-
Promote interactions among trainees from different fields, especially those trained in basic sciences, engineering, translational research and clinical medicine.
-
Prepare a workforce of skilled, stem cell ambassadors with an awareness and appreciation of inequities that impact development of therapies for all.
