FUNDING

Our research contributes to the better use of human pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine, drug development, and to basic understanding of stem cells and their microenvironment that sustain our bodies homeostasis. Significant funding is required to sustain our research efforts. Equally important to our research is the educational formation of our team members, which are undergraduate and graduate students aiming for career paths in the biomedical field in the academic setting and industry.
