UConn stem-cell research gets state-funded grant awards
Stem-cell research got a vote of confidence this week from state-funded grant awards; in fact, some researchers believe these awards will move research findings from the laboratory to the clinic.
Eleven University of Connecticut scientists received awards totaling $5.4 million from the Connecticut Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee. The awards are expected to advance embryonic and human adult stem-cell research in Connecticut.
Nine of the state grants were awarded to scientists at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington and two to researchers based at UConn’s Storrs campus. A total of 24 projects were awarded nearly $9.8 million.
