Program Type: Infrastructure
The Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles hESC Facility
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 generation of pediatric clinical physicians, nurses and allied health care professionals and biomedical scientists. A unique focus of the research in our institution is on […]
UCSC Shared Stem Cell Facility
We have assembled a team of researchers with the aim of elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate stem cell self renewal and differentiation. Drawing on their broad range of expertise in development, genetics, genomics, molecular, cell and computational biology, these researchers will use interdisciplinary approaches to tackle problems concerning how genes are regulated […]
CIRM Shared Research Laboratories
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 Research Laboratory (SRL) is centrally located on the main campus. The SRL will be used by researchers focused on understanding how hESCs are induced to […]
TSRI Center for hESC Research
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, bone or specific neuronal lineages. We have taken a chemical approach toward this problem in which large collections of synthetic small molecules are being screened […]
UC Davis Translational Human Embryonic Stem Cell Shared Research Facility
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 shared facility will encourage a spirit of collaboration and include laboratories for investigators to culture, collect, store, and analyze hESC, provide necessary services that will […]
North Bay CIRM Shared Research Laboratory for Stem Cells and Aging
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, cause loss of neural tissue and functional impairment. Currently, there is no cure for these devastating neurological disorders. A promising approach to the treatment of […]
The University of California San Francisco Shared Research and Teaching Laboratory: a Non-Federal Human Embryonic Stem Cell Resource for the Bay Area Community
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 finding cures. Accordingly, researchers at this institution were quick to appreciate the enormous promise of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as research tools for understanding […]
Shared viral vector facility for genetic manipulation of huamn ES cell
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. Unfortunately due to political considerations, scientific space containing equipment and other resources provided by the federal government are off limits for work on unapproved hES […]
Enhancing Facilities for Genetic Manipulation and Engineering of Human Embryonic Stem Cells at UCSD
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 years we have made great strides in advancing hESC research as documented by the large number of successful, high-impact laboratories and breadth of research projects […]
The UCSB Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering
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 to make significant contributions by leveraging fundamental biomedical research efforts with enabling technologies in materials, microfluidics and bioengineering. This proposal details plans for the development […]
