Message from the Director
The Charles C. Gates Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Biology Program was established on August 23, 2006 as the result of a generous gift from the Gates Frontiers Fund. Our comprehensive program is open to all investigators within the CU system who are interested in stem cell research. The goal of our program is to understand the biology of stem cells in order to develop new therapies for debilitating diseases such as cancer, pediatric diseases, heart diseases, juvenile diabetes, vascular diseases, liver diseases, blood diseases, and neuronal diseases.
Our Program is housed in the recently-opened Research Complex I on the Anschutz Medical Campus, the largest new biomedical and clinical campus in the United States.
