Core offering

Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine is a collaborative nonprofit research consortium that provides shared advanced core facilities and infrastructure for stem cell and regenerative medicine research among member San Diego institutions (Salk Institute, UC San Diego, Sanford Burnham Prebys). It operates four core facilities (Gene Transfer Viral Vector Core, Genomics Core, Human Embryonic Stem Cell Core, and Preclinical Animal Imaging Core), hosts scientific seminar series and symposiums, and rents out event venue spaces including the Duane J. Roth Auditorium.

Product overview

The Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine is a collaborative research consortium rather than a traditional product company. It operates a unified platform of shared research infrastructure consisting of four core facilities (Gene Transfer Targeting and Therapeutics Viral Vector Core, Genomics Core, Human Embryonic Stem Cell Core, and Preclinical Animal Imaging Core), event venue spaces, and multiple seminar/symposium programs. The consortium provides centralized technologies, expert services, and specialized tools to accelerate cutting-edge stem cell research across member institutions.
