University of Wisconsin – Madison
The Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center labs will welcome five new members this summer, as a part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), which supports motivated University of Wisconsin–Madison undergraduate students as they pursue research in stem cell science and regenerative medicine. These talented undergraduate students will be paired with mentors for more …
The SCRMC Research Training Awards Program provides unique, interdisciplinary training for five future leaders in stem cell and regenerative medicine research. Additionally, this program will foster interdisciplinary collaborations among campus investigators. The award was established in 2008 to recognize and provide support for promising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows of all citizenships conducting stem cell …
Four innovative projects studying the role of stem cells in the musculoskeletal system are currently underway at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Led by Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center (SCRMC) investigators and supported by a gift from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), these projects will investigate a wide variety of questions including how …
Stem Cell Reports recently highlighted “GABA produced by multiple bone marrow cell types regulates hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells” as their cover story. This research was conducted by SCRMC member and assistant professor of Cell and Regenerative Biology, Owen Tamplin, PhD, and members of his lab. Dr. Tamplin shares a brief description of the research …
The SURF program, also known as the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program, welcomed students not to the beach, but to the bench, as six talented undergraduate students spent their summers working in various stem cell labs across campus. This unique experience led by the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center (SCRMC) Graduate Student Association (GSA) …
Several Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center faculty members will receive 2025-26 WARF Named Professorships, Kellett Fellowships, and Romnes Awards from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR). The fellowship awards are reserved for those that push the boundaries of discovery and demonstrate a commitment to the Wisconsin Idea. Any technology that arises …
Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine members will receive four of the nine Research Forward grants hosted by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) and sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). These competitive grants facilitate groundbreaking, collaborative, high-risk, high-impact, and transformative research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Research teams will receive …
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have uncovered new evidence in a decades-old genetic mystery, discovering how multiple genetic variations in a long-mysterious region of the human genome can leave people at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Thanks to Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), scientists have long known that genetic variations in the 9p21.3 locus, …
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, but three innovative projects underway at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are helping to change that. Led by Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center (SCRMC) investigators and supported by a gift from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), these projects will explore the development of improved stem …
