Healing Bones with Stem Cells at UC Davis – Q&A: CIRM Spotlight on Disease
Question and answer session from the CIRM governing board’s Spotlight on Disease seminar on March 21, 2012 in Sacramento, California. The board heard from UC Davis researchers who are using bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells to develop new methods for repairing bone deformities and non-healing bone fractures.
Spotlight on Genomics: Understanding Our Genes
This seminar, presented to the CIRM governing board on January 17th, 2012, provides a glimpse into a future of personalized medicine in which genomics, the study of genes and their function, is applied to pinpoint specific treatments for patients. Speakers included Craig Venter, president and founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute, Catriona Jamieson, director […]

Stem Cell Clinical Trial for Heart Failure: Eduardo Marbán – CIRM Spotlight on Disease
CIRM has funded a $5.5 million Disease Team to develop a follow-on cardiac stem cell clinical trial that uses a patient’s own heart stem cells to regenerate scarred tissue damaged by a heart attack. The team is led by Eduardo Marbán, MD, PhD, Director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute. Marbán presented the team’s latest progress […]
iPS Cell Biology: CIRM Spotlight on Research Bottlenecks
On June 23, 2011, Yang Xu spoke to the CIRM governing board about research bottlenecks in induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cell biology. iPS cells are created from a person’s own tissue (eg skin) and yet have many characteristics of embryonic stem cells. It was assumed that iPS would not be rejected by a person’s immune […]
Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Anemia – Donald Kohn
CIRM has funded a $9 million disease team to develop a more effective and safer bone marrow transplant to treat sickle cell disease. The team is led by Dr. Donald Kohn, director of the Human Gene Medicine Program at UCLA, a scientist with the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell […]
Spotlight on Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Anemia – A Patient’s Perspective
(Part 2 of 2) Nancy Rene, a patient advocate for the Sickle Cell Foundation of California, spoke to the CIRM Governing Board at the “Spotlight on Disease Team Awards: Stem Cell Therapy for Sickle Cell Anemia” seminar. Through photos and stories, Rene described the impact of sickle cell anemia on her grandson’s life. She also […]
