Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Laboratory-based research at Harvard University has been put on hold, with the exception of research into COVID-19. We will maintain only the most critical functions to safeguard materials that are essential to our on-going mission of finding cures for all human diseases, and will continue to work remotely.
HSCRB Research
Combating disease and tissue degeneration and improving human health.
This is the ultimate goal of HSCRB’s research, whether it is focused on the most basic level of cellular development or screening chemical compounds for potential drugs. Our mission is to push the frontiers of stem cell and regenerative biology, illuminating the workings of human health and disease in both basic discovery and clinical settings.
