Overview
Our Mission: Turning fundamental discoveries in stem cells science into therapies for today’s patients.
The Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) is a center of discovery linking a pioneering past to a future of profound possibilities. The Institute has its roots in the work of Nobel-prize winner Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, a University of Washington physician and researcher whose bone marrow transplants in cancer patients were the first use of stem cells in human medicine. That groundbreaking work helped mark the beginning of a new era in medical research.
Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine promise unprecedented breakthroughs in healing for the 21st century. Among the world’s premier biomedical research institutions, the University of Washington School of Medicine and its affiliated institutions, Fred Hutch and Seattle Children’s, are leading-edge pioneers in this science.
The University of Washington Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine plays an integral part in this network, developing the human body’s astonishing power to heal itself.
