ISCRM Director Dr. Chuck Murry takes the stage at TEDxSeattle
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
A Paradigm Shift in Cancer Treatment
What if a patient’s cancer had a unique fingerprint? And what if that fingerprint could be used to help physicians treat patients, faster and more effectively than ever? This is precision medicine. And Dr. Pam Becker and a team of UW researchers are using it to save lives. Read More
Breaking the Capillary Barrier
Capillaries, the tiny but abundant vessels that enable the exchange of nutrients and waste, are so narrow that red blood cells must pass through in a single file line, making them challenging to study and prohibitively difficult to engineer. Until now. Read More
Spotlight
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.
