Re-start stem cell research program

Chet Culver will lift Iowa restrictions that have ended much stem cell research in the state and sent scientists and research teams to other states. Culver’s proposal includes a $10 million investment in the creation of a Center for Regenerative Medicine in Iowa City, which will conduct cutting edge research and attract the top scientists in the field to Iowa. That initial investment will also be used to attract private sector funding and return Iowa to a leadership position for medical research.
