Developing stem cell-based therapies to treat our most serious diseases
Of all the mysteries surrounding the beginning of human life, one question has drawn particular interest from researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM). Simply put, for women who are unable to get pregnant, what is happening at the cellular level that is preventing life from taking hold? 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
It’s a mind-bending marriage of science and technology: a story of the microscopic, the extraterrestrial, and above all, the ingenuity of the human spirit. And UW Medicine and the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) are right in the middle of the action. Read More
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
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
Dr. Beno Freedman has been named the recipient of the 2018 STEM CELLS Young Investigator Award for his lab's paper "Gene-Edited Human Kidney Organoids Reveal Mechanisms of Disease in Podocyte Development," which was published in the December 2017 issue of the Journal.
