California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)

The California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) is the first-ever taxpayer-funded agency in the US and one of the world’s largest institutes of its kind dedicated to accelerating the development of innovative cell and gene therapies. CIRM is dedicated to fulfilling its mission by funding groundbreaking research and driving the development of treatments for a diverse array of diseases.
