We are pleased to announce that the newest cohort of CIRM Scholars includes four postdoctoral scientists working in QB3-Berkeley faculty labs. Funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), this prestigious training program supports outstanding scientists as they advance the field of stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
Congratulations to these new first-year CIRM Scholars:
- Nazibul Islam, Amy Herr lab
- Jamie Wu, Jennifer Doudna lab
Celebrating continuing second-year CIRM Scholars:
- Julio Bernal-Chanchavac, Sanjay Kumar and David Schaffer labs
