UCSF Stem Cell Science Building: A Monument to California

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on Feb. 9, 2011 celebrated the official opening of the Ray and Dagmar Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building, a testament to UCSF's leadership in the field, the generosity of donors and the vision of 7 million voters in California whose support of Proposition 71 in 2004 helped make critical investments in stem cell research.

The architecturally significant, serpentine structure, located on the University's Parnassus Heights campus, is the headquarters for the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF. The program, which extends across all UCSF campuses, is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the United States.
