CIRM’s DISC5 funding program supports innovative, exploratory research in #StemCell biology and #RegenerativeMedicine, focusing on interdisciplinary pairs of investigators tackling key knowledge gaps. Learn more at cirm.ca.gov/disc5
It's finally out! Thankful for my mentor @Kriegsteinlab and all collaborators🙏 nature.com/articles/s4146…
Check out our new paper led by the brilliant @homamajd! Grateful to our fantastic collaborators for their insights and teamwork.
Our ENS is vital to gut-brain health. When it breaks down, so does health. Treatments? Almost none. Access to functional human enteric neurons at scale powers research, disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. Grateful to everyone who made this possible.nature.com/articles/s4158…
Dear colleagues and friends, please join to Celebrate the life of Atul Butte on Saturday at 10am. Co-hosted by @ucsf, @Stanford @Harvard
With deep sadness, we share the passing of Dr. Atul Butte—a visionary leader, scientist, and mentor. His groundbreaking work and boundless compassion transformed medicine and inspired so many. His legacy will continue to shape the University of California and beyond.
