Promises and Problems in Stem Cell Research

In the little over ten years since the voters of California created CIRM, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, great progress has been made in advancing stem cell research. CIRM is now funding 16 projects that are in clinical trials and plans to fund another 50 in the next five years in everything from heart disease and cancer, to stroke and diabetes. But the agency faces a big problem in meeting its goal. What is it and how can you help in overcoming it?
 
Kevin McCormack is the communications director at CIRM, the state’s stem cell agency. He considers himself to be the official translator for the agency, working to turn complex language about equally complex science into everyday English that anyone can understand.
