"IRM's new logo will be instantly recognizable as a world leader in stem cell

committed to uncovering the mysteries of the human body with the intent of improving
the quality of life for millions of individuals. We cannot imagine a more
significant quest, promising a far-reaching impact on society at large."

Only two years old, the Institute was initially formed as the governing body for
UCSF stem cell research, spanning several departments. However the vision and role
of IRM has expanded to align and coordinate over 60 independent stem cell research
and application initiatives, uniquely focused on improved collaboration,
communication and efficiency, thus forming the Institute for Regeneration Medicine
(IRM). UCSF's historical achievements include laying the groundwork for current
worldwide research on the use of human embryonic stem cells to treat disease,
established by Gail Martin's work. 25 years ago, Dr. Martin, PhD a UCSF professor
of anatomy, was one of the first scientists in the world to isolate precursor cells
from mouse embryos and coined the term "embryonic stem cells". Additionally, UCSF
is one of only two universities in the United States that derived human embryonic
stem cell lines that qualified for inclusion on the National Institutes of Health
Stem Cell Registry, established in 2001.
