Vanderbilt Center for Stem Cell Biology (VCSCB)

The Vanderbilt Center for Stem Cell Biology (VCSCB) is a newly established center at Vanderbilt University that will serve as a platform for accelerating discoveries in stem cell biology.The Center is focused on generating new knowledge for directing the differentiation of embryonic stem cells towards specific fates, such as pancreatic islets, dopaminergic neurons, and cardiovascular myocytes.The VCSCB oversees the existing Transgenic Mouse/Embryonic Stem Cell Shared Resource and has plans to develop a new shared resource for the growth and manipulation of human embryonic stem cells.The VCSCB will host new educational programs focused on stem cells and their biology, as well as other related technologies, with the goal of speeding up the development of new therapies for a variety of human diseases.
