Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF

In more than 130 labs across UCSF, scientists at the Broad Stem Cell Center are shaping the future of medicine, accelerating bold research to understand and treat the world’s most devastating diseases. Physicians and scientists collaborate to discover the inner workings of stem cells, engineer new treatments using powerful genome editing tools, and ultimately heal patients by developing life-saving therapies. By harnessing the power of stem cells, the building blocks of all human tissues, we can treat and even cure diseases that affect systems throughout the body. With generous support from our partners, we are ushering in a new era of medicine. Our scientists are redesigning cell-delivery and genome-editing tools to make them both more precise and more customizable, improving the effectiveness and safety of stem cell therapies. Work from our investigators has led to stem cell treatments for patients suffering from a range of diseases, from epilepsy to diabetes to blood disorders such as sickle cell disease. The vision of UCSF Broad is to catalyze a new era in medicine by engineering stem cells to withstand the effects of aging and reverse the impact of disease. We have all the pieces in place to transform today’s discoveries into tomorrow’s cures. Discover | Engineer | Heal
