A primary goal of the Millipore Giving Program is to support initiatives which address challenging human health issues. By funding innovative stem cell research programs such as the Harvard Stem Cell Research Institute and Scripps Research Institute, we strive to understand and identify solutions for a host of diseases. Millipore also supports organizations which address specific illnesses, particularly cancer and heart disease. Through partnerships with the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, Millipore joins the fight towards eradicating the number 1 and 2 causes of death in the United States.
Harvard Stem Cell Research Institute (HSCI)/Millipore Seed Grant Fellowship
Cambridge, MAThe Millipore Seed Grant Fellowship was established in September 2007, to direct the funding of Millipore’s five-year, $500,000 grant to HSCI. Each year, beginning in 2008, $100,000 will be earmarked for a Harvard-affiliated seed grant recipient, selected from a list of candidates provided by HSCI. Dr. Sangeeta Bhatia received the first fellowship for her groundbreaking research in embryonic stem cell differentiation and will be awarded a total of $200,000 over the next two years.
The Harvard Stem Cell Institute is a scientific collaborative within Harvard University and its affiliated hospitals, established to fulfill the promise of stem cell biology as a basis for cures and treatments for a wide range of chronic and medical conditions. HSCI takes a broad approach, focusing not only on stem cell science, but also on teacher education and programs in bioethics and the public policy issues generated by stem cell research.
