Congratulations to the 2018 ISCRM Undergraduate Summer Fellows Awardees
The ISCRM Undergraduate Summer Fellows program, supported by resources from the State of Washington, are competitive fellowships intended to enhance the educational experiences of undergraduate students at the University of Washington while they are engaged in research guided by UW ISCRM faculty. We hope that with research fellowships, students may focus more attention and time, deepening their inquiry into a discipline or project with a reduced financial burden.

Congratulations to the 2018 ISCRM Fellows Awardees
The ISCRM Scholars Program, funded by the State of Washington, provides one year of funding for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees doing research in stem cell and regenerative medicine technologies. Each of the seven scholars selected for the 2018-19 school year, will train under the guidance of one of ISCRM’s excellent faculty mentors. This training will simultaneously enrich the trainee research and education and strengthen the future and innovation of stem cell and regenerative medicine and technology development in the state of Washington.
