Показать описание
The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund (MSCRF) was established by the Governor and the Maryland General Assembly through the Maryland Stem Cell Research Act of 2006 during the 2006 General Assembly Session. The purpose of the MSCRF is to promote state-funded, scientifically meritorious stem cell research and cures through grants and loans to public and private entities in the state. Maryland was among very few states that made a visionary investment in regenerative medicine approaches that were thought to be potentially curative.

Since its creation in 2006, MSCRF has been a leader in growing the stem cell industry in Maryland and in delivering its mission of advancing stem cell-based research to address the devastating diseases of our time. MSCRF has established a strong track record in identifying and supporting cutting-edge stem cell research, commercialization and clinical trials through our unique funding programs that are tailored to advance a stem cell-based discovery from the lab, where the invention occurred, to the clinic where it can reach patients. Beyond funding, MSCRF serves as the connective tissue for the regenerative medicine industry. Our ongoing outreach, engagement and thought leadership drives scientific collaboration, accelerates innovation, and helps provide valuable resources to the scientists and companies we support.

As we reflect on 15 years of accelerating cures and making a difference in our community, we are filled with gratitude, pride and hope.
