About the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine
USC recently established the department to spearhead multidisciplinary, educational initiatives across the university. The department offers opportunities for students and professionals at all stages of their careers.
The department’s unique courses and training programs provide a perspective on how the body’s own developmental and repair mechanisms can restore damaged cells, tissues and organs, advancing our scientific knowledge and redefining how we treat human diseases with regenerative medicine.
While pursuing these educational programs, students and professionals enjoy the state-of-the-art facilities in the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC. They also connect with colleagues and mentors across the university through the USC Stem Cell initiative, an interdisciplinary, university-wide collaboration that leverages the transformative power of stem cells to develop the therapies of the future.
