HSCI scientists develop CRISPR-based tool for lineage tracing A new mouse model allows scientists to track every cell in the body, from the embryo stage until adulthood. The system, published in the journal Cell, could yield a greater understanding of...

Live imaging of blood stem cells reveals that location matters in the bone marrow The stem cells found in bone marrow have saved the lives of thousands of leukemia patients through transplantation, as they are capable of making any type of blood cell. Yet...

Two studies by HSCI scientists advance our understanding of cancer Two new studies by Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) scientists give important insights into lung and liver cancers, and have potential implications for cancer treatment. Carla Kim, Ph.D...

In a new study from the Boston's Children Hospital, the Harvard Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, researchers labelled blood system stem cells with genetic barcodes to track them during the process of...

Harvard Stem Cell Institute is pleased to announce four of our Principal Faculty members have been named Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Faculty Scholars. Fernando Camargo, Benjamin Ebert, Jayaraj Rajagopal, and John Rinn are among the 84 early...

Two HSCI Principal Faculty members, Leonard Zon, MD, and Fernando Camargo, PhD, have received awards for their outstanding contribution to the field of stem cell science from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), a world-renowned...

Annual symposium drives innovative research between CIRM-HSCI scientists The organizers of this year’s Harvard Stem Cell Institute/ California Institute for Regenerative Medicine Junior Faculty Symposium knew that it was time to rebrand. The 40 regulars...
