Stem Cell Labs Planned in California
The Chronicle‘s Jeffrey Brainard reports today that a California state agency will dole out $271-million to 12 institutions to construct laboratories for stem-cell research.
“The announcement appears to be a milestone in research,” the article says. “No federal agency or state has handed out more money in one fell swoop for building university labs in one scientific discipline, California officials said.”
Among the grantees are nine University of California campuses, the Scripps Research Institute, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California.
