The UCSF-CIRM Scholars Training Program is made possible by the generous support of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine via education grant # EDUC4-12812.
The program is overseen by the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research with training slots available on a competitive basis to trainees proposing stem cell and gene therapy projects across the UCSF campus. The program supports current UCSF scholars: 4 graduate students, 7 postdoctoral fellows, and 2 clinical fellows annually. Applications are drawn from a large variety of graduate and professional programs, departments, and campus-wide discovery/translational/clinical science programs spanning a spectrum of disciplines including stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene therapy, cell engineering, tissue engineering, synthetic biology, systems biology, immunology, translation, clinical trials and more.
