Developing stem cell-based therapies to treat our most serious diseases
For those who know Eileen and Larry Tietze, it isn’t surprising that they are among the very earliest supporters of the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM), as well as some of the most impactful. Investing in the potential of ideas and in the promise of people is the hallmark of their philanthropy. Read More
The goal was to shorten the time from discovery to treatment, for the benefit of current and future patients suffering from chronic conditions, like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and other disorders. Read More
Under the billing of Tall Orders, Dr. Murry raised the curtain on the profound potential of stem cells to change the way humans confront chronic disease. Watch the TEDxSeattle program here or read more about the landmark heart regeneration research underway at UW Medicine. Read More
For decades, Dr. George Kraft has been at the vanguard of discovery in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS) research. His name is attached to landmark studies that have shaped how people with the debilitating disease are diagnosed, cared for, and treated. And yet, even Dr. Kraft looks up at the stars. Read More
There are currently no treatments that prevent or slow the progression of this memory-robbing affliction. Researchers at the UW Medicine Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine are determined to change that by taking a closer look at the factors that cause Alzheimer’s. Read More
A new article in Science details exciting advancements in 3D organ printing, the result of an ongoing collaboration between ISCRM faculty member Kelly Stevens and researchers at Rice University. More on the paper, which was co-first-authored by PhD student Daniel Corbett, can be found here.
