NYSCF Profiled in Crain’s As A Leader in Stem Cell Research
The New York Stem Cell Foundation was profiled in the most recent issue of Crain's New York Business as a major player in the field of regenerative medicine and the largest institution in the country devoted exclusively to stem cell research. NYSCF was praised for applying an entrepreneurial approach to biomedical research, allowing scientists the flexibility to pursue theories and avenues of research that might be rejected in other laboratories as not immediately profitable or publishable. In particular, NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon was hailed for her vision in creating a private laboratory that shields scientists from changes in policy and the unpredictable nature of public funding, allowing NYSCF's team of bright, innovative researchers to focus exclusively on the hunt for cures.
