Funding Innovative Research

The medical cures of tomorrow depend on you

The scientists, ethicists, and educators working at Harvard Stem Cell Institute rely on the generosity of people just like you. Through the support of individuals, families, foundations, and corporations who share our belief in the promise of stem cell research, Harvard is moving closer toward its goal of targeting and correcting the cells lost or damaged by disease. Type 1 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vision loss, spinal cord injury, and cancer all have the potential to be treated and cured by stem cell therapy.

Harvard University has the power to turn vision into reality

In addition to Harvard's tradition of academic excellence and leadership in the humanities and the sciences, the University has unparalleled access to over a dozen world-class teaching hospitals and a thriving biotechnology community. This combination of basic science and clinical expertise make the Harvard Stem Cell Institute a unique leader in the field.

Currently, research involving embryonic stem cells is typically not eligible for federal funding in the United States, so the need for private support is even more critical-tomorrow's cures truly depend on a gift given today.
