STMRM-MS - Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (MS)

The Stanford Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (SCBRM) program is dedicated to doctoral education that translates basic science to clinical applications, typically called Translational Science, and is of intense interest internationally in medical schools and universities. Our doctoral program provides exceptional didactic education and research experience in the basic sciences underlying stem cell biology. In addition, program participants will receive specialized training in developing and clinically applying discoveries in the basic sciences to achieve regenerative therapies. Thus, our graduates will be uniquely positioned to pursue successful translational careers in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. They will emerge prepared to deliver on their passion for improving the human condition. The core curriculum combines unique research and clinical/professional immersion rotations to provide opportunities for doctoral students to specialize in the broad subject of translational medicine and yet focus specifically on the fundamentals of SCBRM. The curriculum combines genetics and developmental biology education with an introductory laboratory-based stem cell course, an advanced course in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, and a clinical rotation with alternative law, business, and/or engineering opportunities.
