Recognised for its strengths in the field of stem cell research, the University of Cambridge has created the Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative under the direction of its key stem cell faculty members, Professor Roger Pedersen, Professor Azim Surani and Professor Austin Smith. The convener of the Initiative is Professor Roger Pedersen. The Initiative brings together leading investigators with interests in stem cells and affiliated disciplines from across the entire University, including the School of Biological Sciences, the School of Clinical Medicine and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. The Initiative is therefore the primary conduit for engagement between basic and clinical scientists aimed at biomedical translation of stem cell and regenerative medicine research.

The Columbia University Stem Cell Consortium is a community of researchers from a variety of medical and scientific disciplines. Their investigative efforts strive to translate basic science studies into clinical treatments that will defeat the advancement of many chronic and untreatable diseases.

The Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) is committed to the ethical pursuit of basic research to unleash the enormous potential of stem cells and thereby develop therapies and cures.

The Institute, founded in March 2006, consists of a world-class team of over 70 faculty conducting basic research on stem and progenitor cells. The Institute is linked by the shared commitment of the faculty to leverage this research to develop improved therapies, and cures, for patients. - (Read more)

The Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine is at the forefront of a groundbreaking approach to biomedical research and patient care. This approach aims to harness the power of stem cells — master cells from which all specialized cells and tissues in our bodies are derived — to target and remedy the root causes of today's most devastating diseases.

Cellular Reprogramming Laboratory, Department of Animal Science, Michigan State University works towards understanding the mechanisms of nuclear transfer, and application to generate human isogenic pluripotent stem cells and to clone animals at optimal efficiency. - (Read more)

The UCSF Institute for Regeneration Medicine (IRM) combines the talents of molecular biologists, developmental and cell biologists, neurobiologists, immunologists and cancer researchers. 
The IRM is also the home of UCSF's Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Center and Program in Craniofacial and Mesenchymal Biology. The IRM is supervised by Dr. Arnold Kriegstein, director, and Dr. Rik Derynck, co-director.

The Murine Embryonic Stem Cell Core has been created to help you create mutations in murine embryonic stem cells. The core has several missions, including development of state-of-the-art reagents for the production of targeted mutations in embryonic stem cells, the creation of quality-controlled embryonic stem cell lines, and the teaching of methods for embryonic stem cell culture and manipulation. The core provides quality-controlled cells developed here at Washington University. In addition, our core can provide a teaching service, so that "hands-on" production of targeted ES clones can be learned.

UCI began its stem cell research program in the 1970s and moved into human stem cell research in 2000. Today, more than 60 UCI scientists use stem cells in current or planned studies. Now a hub for stem cell research in Southern California, UCI is raising money for a new building that would house its stem cell researchers, the core laboratory, training facilities and research space. UCI is applying for a CIRM facilities grant to build the structure. - (Read more)

UC Davis established its Stem Cell Program to combine and coordinate campus resources and to ensure success for the translation of bench research into clinical applications for patients. The program's overarching goal is to prevent, reverse, improve or cure human diseases by application of stem cell therapies, using adult stem cells in immediate applications and, potentially, embryonic stem cells in the future when safety and efficacy can be demonstrated. - (Read more)

Welcome to the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Web Site
University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ

This web portal was developed by the graduate school (GSBS)-Newark division to provide educational materials and research resource relating to stem cell biology and the application to regenerative medicine/tissue repair. Much of the content was developed by Dr. Pranela Rameshwar and the students who have taken the graduate courses in stem cell biology and are actively involved in stem cell research. Their efforts represent an on-going collaborative work to provide the most current and pertinent information available.

Armed with an exceptional team of stem cell scientists, Connecticut’s flagship public university has positioned itself at the forefront of today’s highly promising stem cell research. UConn’s multi-disciplinary effort unites the university’s major commitment to the field of regenerative medicine with pioneering research at a new state-of-the-art Stem Cell Core Laboratory adjacent to the UConn Health Center.

The Centre for Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) complements the existing strengths in developmental biology at the University of Sheffield. We provide a focus on the development of human ES cell technologies and resources that are central to the long-term goal of developing clinical applications of stem cells in regenerative medicine.

The University of Michigan is a long-time leader in the study of adult stem cells. But until Michigan voters approved a state constitutional amendment in November 2008, restrictive state laws severely limited the types of embryonic stem cell research allowed in the state.

In response to the passage of Proposal 2 in November 2008, U-M is bolstering its embryonic stem cell research effort. New research initiatives and collaborations are in the works, new faculty members are being hired, and the university is now positioned to compete for any new federal funds that become available for embryonic stem cell research. The goal is to place U-M at the forefront in all aspects of stem cell research.

In the last decade the discipline of stem cell science has expanded at a phenomenal rate and has captivated the attention not only of the research community but also the general population. This excitement has arisen because a variety of distinct stem cells offer the very real prospect of novel or improved therapies across many areas of medicine.

The Birmingham University Stem Cell Centre (BUSCC) encompasses more than twenty different multidisciplinary groups working on fundamental and clinical research, some of which has already reached the early stages of clinical trials. Our research covers a wide range of research areas from neural stem cells, skeletal muscle stem cells, tooth stem cells and germ cells derived from embryonic stem cells to studies on 3D materials for tissue engineering. These groups hold substantial research funding from the Research Councils and various charities. Complementing these research efforts, the Centre also includes a number of members of the School of Social Sciences who help to provide a broad perspective on social and ethical issues associated with stem cell research.

As a forum for interaction between researchers, BUSCC facilitates the development of collaborations and subsequent bids for grant support. BUSCC runs regular research seminars and workshops involving local, national and international participants, which are open to all across the University campus and the surrounding hospitals. BUSCC also aims to act as a focus for informed discussion with academia, industry and the public on scientific, technological and social issues arising out of this burgeoning field. - (Read more)

The Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) opened its doors in 1995 and since that time it has served as a catalyst for innovative biomedical engineering and bioscience research. Located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, IBB offers a bold variety of both traditional and cutting-edge medical research.

IBB has revolutionized the term "interdisciplinary research", and the Institute has become an incubator for research teams to tackle complex medical research problems using an interdisciplinary approach. It has grown to include more than 100 faculty members from a wide variety of disciplines, which has played a vital role in the success of the Institute and its culture. 

From its eight "research neighborhoods" to the open atrium and even the building's artwork, IBB was built from the ground up to foster an environment where innovative research emerges from the joint activities of bioengineering and bioscience faculty from more than eight different departments.
