Bringing the Future Closer to Home: Your Regional Source for Regenerative Medicine
We aim to ensure that breakthrough cell and gene therapies are accessible to patients right here in Northern California. Our goal is to overcome geographic barriers to shape an equitable healthcare landscape where the life-changing power of regenerative medicine is truly within reach for our North Coast communities.
Understanding Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell therapies have the potential to treat chronic diseases and injuries that once seemed untreatable. If you are new to this science, we are here to help demystify it. Discover how a scientific breakthrough moves from a laboratory bench to a patient's bedside, and learn the basics of how these therapies work.
Your Pathway to CIRM Clinical Trials
CIRM funds nine specialized Alpha Clinics across California, offering exclusive access to groundbreaking cell and gene therapies. We help Northern California patients navigate this network so distance doesn't limit your care. To make participation easier, a CIRM’s Patient Assistance Fund is being developed to provide direct financial help for travel, lodging, and meals to ensure you and your family can focus entirely on treatment, not logistics.
Growing Care on the North Coast
We believe that access to medicine belongs to every community. We are partnering with local healthcare organizations to establish a regional hub for regenerative medicine education and care. This expanding network will help bridge the gap, bringing the promise of advanced treatments and clinical trials closer to home.
