Stem Cell Research Grant

The Millipore Foundation has awarded a $500,000 research grant to the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI). This research grant of $100,000 a year for five years will support the HSCI Seed Grant Program, which provides early funding for innovative projects in any field of stem cell research. Through this grant, we not only meet our responsibility to give back to the community, we also help fulfill the promise of our new brand by promoting innovation and research in the Life Science industry.
