MISSION: One of the missions of the Stem Cell Research Center (SCRC), a new laboratory adjacent to the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, is to facilitate the education and training of NJ scientists in the field of human stem cell research. The center's activity will help NJ scientists compete in the growing human stem cell field and provide a support system to expedite research and future funding.
