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
When the students of W.F. West High School in Chehalis return to class in the fall, the hallway chatter about summer will bounce like percolating molecules from family vacations to fast food jobs. Some may have traveled to new places, mastered new skills, or made new friends. Only a few will be able to say they held a human brain. Read More
Join us on January 9th at UW Medicine South Lake Union for REPAIRING THE FAILING BRAIN, a panel discussion (with reception to follow) featuring leading experts in stem cell science, neurology, and genetic medicine, including Dr. Lorenz Studer, Founder and Director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology at the Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Visit the event page for more information about this free program presented by the UW Medicine Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM).
