Research
Our laboratory focuses on safety outcomes of stem cell research: 1) We are interested in stem cell-based predictive toxicology models to determine teratogenic and somatic toxicity of chemicals and drugs during early development and adulthood. 2) We study epigenetics as a means to understand tumorogenesis and plasticity of stem cells.

Stemina launches its first commercial product - April 29, 2009

Madison start-up Stemina Biomarker Discovery Inc. has launched its first commercial product, which uses human embryonic stem cells to screen drugs for their likelihood to cause birth defects. The launch comes shortly after President Barack Obama lifted restrictions on stem cell research, opening up opportunities for companies like Stemina, which also this month launched its second round of financing.
