Posted: July 29, 2012 at 3:55 pm


Directors of the California stem cell
agency approved an additional
$20 million disease team grant today before adjourning their
meeting. The grant brought the disease team round to a total of $151 million.

The award went to Judith  Shizuru 
of Stanford. Scientist Irv Weissman and Robert
Klein, former chairman of the stem cell agency, both spoke on behalf
of her
appeal of a negative decision by grant reviewers. 
At the suggestion of the current board
chairman, J.T. Thomas, the board placed conditions on the grant
would stipulate Stanford pick up certain unknown, additional costs if
necessary. 
Here is a link to the CIRM press release on today's action.
