Research
Research focused on stem cells and regenerative medicine spans the breadth of the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. Studies range from exploring basic stem cell biology and defining key molecular properties to employing new technologies in tissue engineering. Pioneering clinical trials are spurring not only new cellular therapies but also investigations into ethical issues and the public policy challenges these new discoveries bring.
The SCRMC enables teams of investigators to work together to bring the exciting discoveries in the basic regenerative biology to clinical application. Shared core services provide investigators with access to the latest technologies to advance research.
