Why Our Donors Give:

Howard and Stella Heffron
“What makes supporting the Stem Cell Institute so compelling is the depth and breadth of science at Harvard; there are experts in so many areas that if one person doesn’t have the answer to a problem, some one else will.”

Stephen and Jo Ellen Brewton
“We’re supporting the true core, cutting-edge diabetes research. We view HSCI as a ‘true north’ in terms of your motives and mission. And we hear and understand the critical value of collaboration to this work, which lets HSCI researchers share information and cell lines to get the work accomplished more quickly.”

Jim Rosenthal
"My wife and I love that we have the opportunity to support programs that benefit undergraduates in this department — the innovators of the future — and feel fortunate that we can play a role in such an important endeavor. Harvard is the leader in both stem cell science and education, so we can’t think of a better investment with greater potential.”

Brooke Ellison
“HSCI is the nexus of unparalleled talent and immeasurable opportunity, so when considering meaningful projects and avenues into which to channel our efforts, we could think of no more worthwhile place than HSCI to help cultivate future researchers.”
