With a new $8 million grant, UC Irvine will be able to translate more stem cell research into experimental therapies for complex conditions such as strokes, severe burns and cancer.
UCI also will work with health clinics in underserved communities to find patients for clinical trials, including people with severe disorders whose insurance may not cover new therapies or who don’t live near where clinical trials are typically held, said Dr. Daniela Bota, an oncologist specializing in brain tumors who will lead the UCI Alpha Clinic.

The goal of the research and trials the agency funds is to heal injury and disease with stem cells, said Kevin McCormack, CIRM’s director of patient advocacy.
