Project Objective: Clinical Trial, Phase 2
The Stanford Alpha Stem Cell Clinic
Our project objective is to develop a sustainable infrastructure and become a Northern California hub for stem cell therapies, thus both reducing current patient burden and increasing access to this treatment modality for patients with unmet medical needs. A major roadblock in stem cell therapies is confirming their efficacy in patients. The Alpha Clinic will […]
