Long recognised for its strengths in the field of stem cell research. The University of Cambridge has created the Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative

The Initiative is the primary conduit for engagement between basic and clinical scientists aimed at biomedical translation of stem cell and regenerative medicine research.

It's mission is to generate insights into the biology of stem cells through basic research, thus providing the foundation needed for novel therapies from regenerative medicine.

The Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative offers stem cell researchers the potential for wide interdisciplinary collaborations in areas such as proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, chromatin structure and gene regulation. 

Moreover, both biologists and clinicians are active participants in the medical applications of stem cell biology to human health.
