Our objective at the Stem Cell Institute is to further our understanding of the potential of stem cells to improve human and animal health. In recognition of the seemingly unlimited potential of stem cells in the treatment of human and animal diseases, the University of Minnesota established the Stem Cell Institute and has provided the Institute with nearly $15 million in capital investments.
We are proud to be one of the nation’s leaders in the field of stem cell research. Institute researchers are making great strides in this emerging field of stem cell biology. Faculty throughout the Academic Health Center and across the University are committed to pursuing the frontiers of stem cell and gene therapy research, which we know is only in its infancy.
