The SCRMC Research Training Awards Program was established in 2008 to recognize and provide support for promising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows conducting stem cell and regenerative medicine research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The program provides unique, interdisciplinary training for future leaders in stem cell and regenerative medicine research. Additionally, this program aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations among campus investigators.

Featured Service for Investigators

 

 

The Humanized Mouse Core has a new website and is ready to provide investigators with a variety of humanized mouse models for their individual research needs. Our goal is to readily supply animals of high quality and consistency in order to facilitate cutting-edge research of the human immune response. Under the guidance of Dr. William Burlingham, core personnel Matthew Brown, Ying Zhou, and Ian Norman provide a variety of animal models to investigators at competitive prices. Additionally, Drew Ronneburg of the UW-Madison Department of Surgery Histology Core Service provides immunohistochemistry services to the group. Please contact Matt Brown, Cellular and Molecular Pathology Ph.D. program graduate student, for more information about the core.
