Developing stem cell-based therapies to treat our most serious diseases
Jepson arrived on the University of Washington campus with a love of biology, a budding interest in engineering, and the pang of isolation felt by many out-of-state freshmen. Over the next four years, she would find a community in the residence halls and an outlet for her natural curiosity in the Department of Bioengineering. Read More
Uncertainty is a fact of life for just about any PhD student, especially in the hectic final year of a thesis project. So much can change and so much is unknown. Data shifts. Funding is fickle. The right postdoc job could require relocation to a faraway city. It’s all part of the territory for a young scientist. But nothing can prepare a PhD student to complete a project in a pandemic.

If humans could control cellular time, could certain diseases, and perhaps even death itself be delayed? To answer these questions, scientists are looking closely at the nature of embryonic development and the mechanisms of dormancy. Read More
Drug discovery, disease modeling, and donations of personal protective equipment are just some of the ways ISCRM labs are rallying to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Read More
At the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, we are bound by a belief that public health and human dignity are inseparable. One is impossible without the other. As scientists, physicians, and citizens, we cannot stay silent or still while pervasive injustice and inequity continue to threaten our collective wellbeing.
