The Stem Cell Biology and Engineering at UC Santa Barbara Center is well positioned to make advances because of a catalytic combination of research expertise and a critical mass of energetic researchers with strong interests in stem cells and regenerative medicine.
Molecular Mechanisms
The factors controlling complex gene expression patterns that regulate the differentiation of stem cells are largely unknown.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering
The ability to grow and purify specific stem cell derivatives will be crucial for future applications of stem cell therapies.
Regenerative Medicine
Advances in basic and pre-clinical research are being developed into disease-specific regenerative strategies.
