The MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine (MRC-CRM) brings together world leading basic stem cell research with established clinical excellence to deliver a "bench-to-bedside" approach aimed at developing new treatments for  major diseases including cancer,  heart disease, diabetes, degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, and liver failure.

The mission of the new Centre is to gain fundamental understanding of stem cells, to use this knowledge to improve human health, and to provide leadership in training the next generation of basic and clinical scientists in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.  It will also act as a centre for public engagement, information and debate, and source of advice for policy makers.

Professor Sir Ian Wilmut FRS, FRSE is the CRM's Director.  Read his introduction to the Centre.

In 2011 MRC-CRM will be located in a new state-of-the-art building. Have a look at the building site.
