Stem Cell Related Organizations and
Institutions in the U.S.

California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM): Makes grants and provides loans for stem cell research, research facilities, and other research opportunities at California universities and research institutions.

The Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Baylor College of Medicine: The Center was established by Baylor College of Medicine, The Methodist Hospital, and Texas Children's Hospital, and provides an infrastructure to rapidly translate novel cell and gene therapy protocols from the laboratory to the clinic.

The Columbia University Stem Cell Consortium: Committed to the conversion of stem cells into a source of future cell-based therapies.

The Duke Adult Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Program: Recognized for innovative approaches to the treatment of breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma with bone marrow/stem cell transplantation.

Foundation for the Accreditation in Cellular Therapy (FACT): A non-profit organization developed by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) and the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) for the purposes of voluntary inspection and accreditation in the field of hematopoietic cell therapy.

Harvard Stem Cell Institute: Supports research into all aspects of stem cell biology, with special emphasis on those areas with the greatest potential for improving human health.

The Institute for Cell Engineering (ICE), The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine: Provides an unprecedented academic infrastructure and environment to accelerate the pace of discovery in a variety of stem cell related fields, leading the world in the effort to realize the potential of stem cells in medicine.

McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine: A single base of operations for leading scientists and clinical faculty in the University of Pittsburgh working to develop tissue engineering, cellular therapies, biosurgery and artificial and biohybrid organ devices.

The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis: The world's largest comprehensive spinal cord injury research center, with researchers focused on full-time SCI research.  Many of the Miami Project's researchers are interested in utilizing stem cells as a cure for paralysis.

Oregon Stem Cell Center: Conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell therapy.

Project A.L.S.: Works to find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for A.L.S., with the majority of fundraising proceeds supporting investigations in genetics, drug discovery, stem cells, and disease pathways.

The Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey: Established by UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the institute is to carry out research, training, and clinical studies on the application of stem cells to the treatment and cure of human disease.

Stem Cell Image Library: A stem cell photo library provided by StemCellResources.org.
