Friends
and supporters of The New York Stem Cell Foundation gathered
at the home of Jodie and John Eastman in
East Hampton on July 25 to learn more about the latest
remarkable breakthroughs in stem cell research. Susan
L. Solomon, NYSCF co-founder and CEO, Dr. Zach Hall,
NYSCF board member and former president of the California State Stem
Cell Initiative, and Dr. Daylon James, a NYSCF research
fellow, spoke about the Foundation's role in accelerating this cutting-edge
research as scientists work to discover cures for diseases ranging
from diabetes to ALS and cancer.
Founded in 2005, The New York Stem Cell Foundation is a privately
funded foundation dedicated to furthering human stem cell research
to advance the search for cures of the major diseases of our time. The
foundation opened the first privately funded human embryonic stem
cell laboratory in New York City in March 2006 to serve as a “safe
haven” where scientists can conduct advanced human embryonic
stem cell research free of federal restrictions. The organization
supports scientists engaged in stem cell research through grants,
fellowships and symposia; runs collaborative, state-of-the-art research
facilities supported entirely with private funds and directly focused
on curing disease; and educates the public about the importance and
potential benefits of stem cell research.
