Welcome to the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. Founded in 2006, the Center aims to take discoveries in stem cell research from our laboratories and apply them in therapeutic focus areas founded on outstanding clinical research programs at the Keck School. This includes the areas of ophthalmology, liver disease, diabetes, cardiovascular medicine, oncology and hematology.
The center began the next phase of its program development in 2010. Made possible through a generous gift from the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), USC's new $80 million Eli & Edythe Broad CIRM Center for Stem Cell Research & Regenerative Medicine facility opened in October, 2010, to house our eleven research teams and four core laboratories. Going forward, the Center is actively recruiting new scientists working in translational research in regenerative medicine to complement the current team of outstanding basic scientists. We envision our Center providing a hub for the development of regenerative medicine in the Los Angeles region.
Andrew P. McMahon will join USC on July 1, 2012, as a Provost Professor and the inaugural holder of the W. M. Keck Professorship of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. He also will hold an appointment in the Department of Biological Sciences in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. In addition, he will chair the newly created Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the Keck School and serve as director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC.
