Congratulations Madhy!
The goal of the UCI CIRM Scholars Comprehensive Research Training Program is to develop current and future scientific leaders in the stem cell, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine fields. The specific aims of the training program are to broaden the representation of those pursuing stem cell research and to develop skills in our trainees that empower: 1) Basic and translational stem cell research using multidisciplinary approaches, such as cell biology, genomics, computational biology, bioengineering, pre-clinical development, and clinical applications and practice. 2) Appreciation for the urgency of advancing the innovative use of stem cells and stem cell therapies for patient needs that are currently limited or unmet. 3) An understanding of the stem cell field in the wider context of health disparities and ethics, fostering the capability of trainees to act as ambassadors for the field in society at large.
Congratulations Dr. Gromova!
