San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine

The Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, originally established as the San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, is a non-profit research organization located in La Jolla, California. It functions as a 'collaboratory' that integrates the stem cell research efforts of five leading institutions: UC San Diego, the Salk Institute, Scripps Research, Sanford Burnham Prebys, and the La Jolla Institute for Immunology. The consortium's primary mission is to accelerate the development of therapies and diagnostics derived from human stem cell research. Its state-of-the-art facility houses multi-disciplinary teams working on regenerative solutions for conditions such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. By fostering a culture of open collaboration, the organization aims to bridge the gap between basic laboratory discoveries and clinical patient care.
