UCSF Wins Big on Stem Cell Funding

UCSF was the biggest winner of grants awarded by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Friday, with seven grants worth nearly $17.4 million, and an additional $1.1 million going to UCSF and UC Irvine researchers for grants that had not been approved by the institute last month but were funded under the previous outlays. All of the new grants will fund "mature, ongoing studies," according to the stem cell institute. Related Links: UC-San Francisco Wins Big on Stem Cell Funding
