CIRM Awards UC-Davis Researchers More Than $3.5M To Continue Stem Cell Research
On Thursday, the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine awarded two UC-Davis researchers more than $3.5 million in new grant funding to continue their work on technology that helps doctors monitor the effectiveness of stem cell treatments. Laura Marcu was awarded $1.84 million to develop and test a tool that tracks stem cell tissues' progress after being transplanted to restore blood flow for cardiovascular disease, while Kent Leach will receive $1.85 million to continue work that examines how stem cells can accelerate tissue repair in broken bones.
