For 20 undergraduate students at USC, stem cell research is more than the topic of a lecture or an article in a textbook. It’s the focus of a comprehensive two-year program designed …
During the first-ever California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Trainee Networking Conference, more than 400 students and postdoctoral fellows from CIRM’s Bridges, COMPASS, and Scholars programs gathered from different parts of California …
Learn how Leonardo Morsut, PhD, with USC Stem Cell and USC Viterbi School of Engineering is leading the way in the field of regenerative medicine to ignite discovery in stem cell research.
Dr. Nils Lindström’s lab studies the molecular mechanisms that control how progenitors that exist during development differentiate into the broad range of cell types that underpin adult organ function. The lab integrates …
Dr. Justin Ichida’s research focuses on how genetic and environmental factors contribute to human neurodegenerative disease. His laboratory uses cellular reprogramming and stem cell technology to build patient-specific in vitro models of …
To help patients in need of transplants, artificial kidneys would have to function like their natural counterparts, but they wouldn’t necessarily have to look like them. With a new $1 million prize …
Dr. Tom Lozito’s research compares skeletal regeneration in lizards and salamanders. The ultimate goal is to apply this knowledge to improve regeneration in humans.
The McMahon Lab is seeking highly motivated basic and clinical researchers at all career stages. Specific project areas include: understanding the regulation and role of sexual dimorphism in the mammalian kidney; comparative …
Dr. Albert Almada’s laboratory at USC is investigating one of the greatest mysteries in regenerative biology: how stem cells rebuild functional tissues and organs after traumatic injury. His multidisciplinary team models this …
Starting in Fall 2023, USC will offer one of the few undergraduate minors in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine in the U.S. Offered by the Department of Stem Cell Biology and …
Dr. Gage Crump uses zebrafish to understand how the cartilages and bones of our faces are patterned during development. His lab is discovering the local tissue-tissue interactions that control skeletal differentiation and …
Dr. Zhongwei Li and his team aim to bridge basic studies of kidney organogenesis and translational applications of stem/progenitor cell-based kidney regeneration and disease modeling, with the long-term goal of rebuilding the …
Dr. Li and his team aim to bridge basic studies of kidney organogenesis and translational applications of stem/progenitor cell-based kidney regeneration and disease modeling, with the long-term goal of rebuilding the kidney. …
Dr. Rong Lu’s lab studies stem cell coordination, regulation and malfunction from a single cell perspective. If you’re interested in studying stem cells or cancer at the single cell level, please email …
Meet Dr. Yulia Shwartz, a new faculty member at USC Stem Cell. Her lab studies the mechanisms that control stem cell behavior in homeostasis, stress and aging, using the skin as a …
The Shwartz Lab at USC Stem Cell is a multidisciplinary group combining neuroscience, stem cell biology and physiology, to study skin stem cell regulation in homeostasis and in response to multiple challenges. …
To discover new therapies to treat disease, scientists use living cells to study drug action and identify new drug candidates. The Choi Family Therapeutic Screening Facility in USC’s stem cell research center …
