Discovering the inner workings of stem cells, engineering treatments using genome editing tools, and healing patients by developing life-saving therapies.
Congratulations to Corey Harwell, PhD, on receiving a Neurobiology of Brain Disorders Award from the @McKnightFdn. His research explores how brain circuits develop and function, with implications for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders. #UCSFProudtiny.ucsf.edu/wu7qcH
Finding a #ClinicalTrial in California is now easier. CIRM’s new dashboard helps patients quickly search active cell and gene therapy trials at nine CIRM-funded Alpha Clinics across the state. Learn more: bit.ly/4ojqyfx
CIRM’s RAPID funding opportunity aims to speed development of platform-based genetic therapies for rare diseases. The RFA is available for view and the mandatory consultation period is open. Interested applicants must schedule a consultation. Learn more at bit.ly/3Ryyj4Z

CIRM’s RAPID funding program’s Request for Applications is now available, and potential applicants can schedule their mandatory consultations." The image credit is Stanford University.
Big news from UCSF! Mark Anderson, MD, PhD, director of the UCSF Diabetes Center, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors in American science. A true pioneer in diabetes and autoimmune research. Congrats! ow.ly/fVC150Z6t7C
In 2027, ISSCR returns to San Francisco to recognize 25 years of discovery, collaboration, and progress in stem cell science; to gather the people, ideas, and work that will shape the next quarter century.
Join us in San Francisco, USA, 15–18 June 2027. ow.ly/mhEZ50Z1FGM
@ScienceMagazine is recruiting an editor in Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (at the post-doctoral level) with broad interests in neuroscience, regenerative biology, and stem cells in medical or biomedical research. recruiting.ultipro.com/AME11…
The Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize recognizes individuals whose translational research has advanced cellular reprogramming technology for regenerative medicine. It also celebrates the landmark discovery of iPS cells by Shinya Yamanaka.
But what are iPS cells? Learn more 👇
We are recruiting one postdoc fellow and one Junior Specialist (for those finishing college and planning to pursue a PhD) in regenerative biology and extreme physiology. scvrb-core.ucsf.edu/~huang/l…
Please spread the news. Interested candidates can email me directly.

How does science reach the patient⁉️Join @UCSF#Surgery the @UCSFstemcell Center on March 26th for "Getting to Patients", featuring Dr. Tippi MacKenzie (@MackenzieTippi) on "in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation..", with patient perspective and Q&A. In person only.
Organs grow in a body that shape-shifts with them. UCSF scientists invented a gel that mimics this soft support and 3D printed stem cells into it - reliably seeding mini-organs that could speed drug testing in petri dishes. tiny.ucsf.edu/Rr2BvW
