Abstract

Increasingly, the name of the game in stem cell science is collaboration. This takes many forms. We at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) feel strongly that scientists from academia and industry, both within and outside California, can frequently achieve more by working together than they can by going it alone. From the outset, we have emphasized this notion and are gratified to see so many teams that we have funded working together in the midst of exciting scientific advances on both a national and even international level. This article highlights CIRM's collaborative strategies and brings you up to date on the extent of our program in this regard.
