Overview
The mission of the UCSB Center in Stem Cell Biology and Engineering is to foster an interdisciplinary program of stem cell research and teaching in the emerging field of regenerative medicine.
Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering at UC Santa Barbara
Research
Three general areas of stem cell research are being investigated: Molecular Mechanisms, Biotechnology and Bioengineering, and Regenerative Medicine. Combining these approaches, researchers are able to investigate targeted diseases in a multidisciplinary fashion.
Training
A grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine was awarded to UCSB to develop a graduate and postdoctoral training program in stem cell research.
Facilities
A shared laboratory has been established free of federal funding to allow research on all stem cell lines.
