Jan Nolta Lab 2011

The UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures (IRC) opened in March 2010 and is already the hub for stem cell research on our campus, and will house over 200 faculty, basic and clinical scientists, researchers, staff, students and trainees when move-in is complete.

The 109,000 square foot warehouse was once a part of the California Sate Fair. Renovation was made possible through a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), for $20 million of the $63 million dollars total to complete all three phases of the renovation.

Naming opportunities exist for different laboratories within the building and for sponsoring the different laboratory areas of research.

We are also fundraising to build out an auditorium in a part of the shell space still remaining in the IRC, since there is currently no meeting room on campus large enough to assemble our entire program for lectures and events.

We are fundraising for a larger lecture hall/auditorium (upper left), since we currently have no space large enough on the UC Davis medical campus to assemble all 147 faculty members of the Stem Cell Program and their students and trainees.

 The total cost of the auditorium will be about one and a half milion dollars. The plans are drafted.

Naming Opportunities are available!

To help us in this fundraising mission please contact Laurie Macintosh at 916-734-9408.

The IRC facility allows basic and clinical researchers in our group, and other collaborators throughout California, to share state-of-the-art laboratories, cores, and a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Facility for Cellular Therapies.

Please click to link to UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Facility website.

The NIH-funded Clinical Translational Science Center (CTSC) is adjacent, facilitating translation of technologies to the clinic.

Each disease team area contains transitional benches for clinical faculty and fellows to perform collaborative, scale-up research within the larger group, without needing to purchase their own laboratory equipment.

Our team of experienced stem cell scientists provide advice and training for researchers new to the stem cell field. "Team Training" is an important mission of our center.
