USC+CHLA Alpha Clinic

About the Alpha Clinic

The Alpha Clinics are a California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)-funded network of nine top California medical centers. The network aims to expand existing capacities for delivering stem cell, gene therapies and other advanced treatment to all patients. We serve as a competency hub for regenerative medicine training, clinical research, and the delivery of approved treatments.

The USC+CHLA Alpha Clinic has a four-part mission to:

• advance and support clinical trials and therapeutic development for cell and gene therapies locally and through the CIRM Alpha Clinic network;
• engage diverse communities in those trials and the resulting therapies;
• provide training and education to researchers, staff, patients, and communities;
• exchange novel expertise with other Alpha Clinic network sites through lead offerings.
