About the Program

The Biomedical Research Program addresses key areas such as the funding and sustainability of the U.S. biomedical research infrastructure; the ethical, political and regulatory challenges of emerging biomedical technologies; and the cost and benefits of bringing new and innovative treatments and therapies to clinics.

One major initiative is the international stem cell policy program, funded by an endowment from the State of Qatar. The program brings together scientists, ethicists, policymakers, media experts, and community and business leaders to find new ways to engage the general public in a dialogue on international stem cell policies, the ethical use of stem cells for research, and policy challenges associated with utilizing stem cell-based medical interventions.
