About our Co-Sponsor

The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) was established in early 2005 following passage of Proposition 71. The ballot measure provided $3 billion in funding and called for the establishment of a new state agency to make grants and provide loans for stem cell research.

Our mission is to advance stem cell research with the potential to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure disease and disability. We are in a race against disease, not a race against other states or nations. We will work with other collaborators and allies around the world in meeting our obligation to advance stem cell therapies to reduce human suffering. More information at www.cirm.ca.gov.

Thank you
We look forward to continuing a tradition of scientific excellence at the ISSCR 8th Annual Meeting in San Francisco, thanks in part to the help from our co-sponsor, supporters, exhibitors and media partners.
