Science the Way It Should Be – A Conversation with Curt Civin and Bernard Siegel on the State of Stem Cell Research
Science Progress, August 21, 2009
Under the Bush administration’s funding guidelines for human embryonic stem cell research, colleagues in Curt Civin’s lab found themselves in some awkward situations. Civin, a professor of pediatrics and director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, explains that some of the team’s research funding came from the state, which had more progressive rules than the previous federal guidelines. They could therefore use stem cell lines outside of those on the National Institute of Health’s approved list.
