CIRM Scholar Research Training Program
We invite competitive applications from individuals interested in pursuing stem cell and gene therapy projects within the UCSF campus community. Appointments for 1 to 2 years for four predoctoral graduate students, six postdoctoral fellows, and one clinical fellow are available starting December 1.
Applicants will be selected from a broad spectrum of disciplines, including but not limited to stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene therapy, cell engineering, tissue engineering, synthetic biology, systems biology, immunology, translation, and clinical trials. Candidates are drawn from campus-wide discovery, translational, and clinical science programs, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
For full details, refer to the CIRM Training Program website.
Due date: Friday, September 22, 2023. Early submission is encouraged.
Funding will commence December 1, 2023.
Sanford Stem Cell Institute Symposium at UC San Diego
The Sanford Stem Cell Institute Symposium is a two-day multidisciplinary event highlighting recent breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. This meeting brings together both research and clinical experts to advance translational applications of stem cell medicine.
This meeting brings together both research and clinical experts to advance translational applications of stem cell medicine.
This symposium aims to bring together stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and the public to discuss developments in the field for turning stem cell-based therapies into approved products for patients in need. The program will highlight stem cell regeneration in several disease areas and will include interactive discussion panels regarding stem cell publishing, stem cell clinical trials, and stem cells in space.
