Accelerating Stem Cell Treatments to Patients
Our mission at CIRM is to accelerate stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs by funding promising stem cell research in California.

Just out! SCN-funded investigator Dr. Timothy Kieffer and his team at the University of British Columbia's faculty of medicine and Vancouver Coastal Health, have published promising results from a Canadian clinical trial representing a significant scientific advancement in treating patients who live with type 1 diabetes. In the first study of its kind, Dr. Kieffer and his team have helped to demonstrate that a stem cell-based treatment can produce insulin in patients living with a severe form of the disease. The results from the multi-year clinical trial were published today in the journal Cell Stem Cell. Read more about the study here:

Thank you to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine for a $5 million grant for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical fellows to train for careers in stem cell research! #FightOn ✌️
HERBAL CURE FOR HIV
Hi everyone ,I was infected with the HIV virus a few years back. I visited several medical hospitals for treatment but none were available. I was searching online for an HIV cure and I found some amazing reviews about doctor OOSA. I decided to consult him and he sent the medicine to me. After using his HIV treatment medicine for 12 days I got cured. I went to several hospitals after his treatment and all results came out negative. So many doctors said there was no cure to HIV but I am assuring everyone that there is herbal cure for HIV and there is no side effect or harm in doctor oosa herbal medicine. you can reach dr oosa through

UCI has received a $5 million award from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to train diverse researchers in stem cell biology, gene therapy and regenerative medicine. A major goal of the state-funded agency is to make California's regenerative medicine workforce more representative of the population.

My group, Stargardts-Macular Degeneration Support Group, is so frustrated that none of the research hospitals/schools, in California, are applying for the grant money, passed by Prop 14 last year. I have called & called & one would think these hospitals have closed down, as I get a machine, when calling the research departments. Is anyone in California still doing research with stem cells? I am starting to run out of hope, for my group people. Maybe you should start offering this grant money to research hospitals outside of California.
Children diagnosed with pediatric brain tumors may experience longer survival rates thanks to an $8.4 million grant from California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. City of Hope's Leo Wang, M.D., Ph.D., is leading a trial to study the use of CAR T cell therapy to treat pediatric brain tumors.

Now that Prop 14 passed, who actually received grant monies, for clinical trials using stem cells, here in California? Is there a list?
Congratulations to the MIND Institute's Dave Segal, Jill Silverman and Kyle Fink! They've been awarded $ 1.36 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to study a cutting-edge treatment for Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic condition.

We are pleased to share the recent news that our own Fred Fisher, MSW, LCSW, President & CEO of The ALS Association Golden West Chapter, has been appointed to the governing Board of California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). In this volunteer role, Fred will serve as a patient advocate for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS), as a part of a 29-person group, representing patients, researchers and the biotechnology communities, who provide recommendations regarding CIRM funding, ethical standards, and facilities.

AIDS virus gives 48 babies and toddlers a working immune system.
Dr. Stephen Gottschalk of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis says the fact that the treatment is safe across multiple hospitals makes the study “very powerful”.
“People ask us, is it the cure? Who knows long term, but at least up to three years, these children are doing well” Gottschalk said. “The immune function seems stable over time so I think it looks very, very encouraging”.
Results from the UCLA -led study were published in May 2021. Grants from U.S. and British government health agencies and the tax-supported California Institute for Regenerative Medicine paid for the work.
