The Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute brings together research faculty and clinicians to provide a true "bench to bedside" organization. We have six key program areas: Brain, Eye, Pancreas, Kidney, Liver and Gut, Blood, and Skeletal. Our core facilities focus on generating induced pluripotent stem cells from human patient blood samples and then generating tissues of interest to the six programs. These cells are used to both increase our understanding of human diseases through modeling, and provide a source of autologous tissue for developing new cellular therapies for human illness.
