About the NYSCF Fellowship Program
The NYSCF Fellowship Program is the largest dedicated stem cell fellowship program in the world. It was established in 2006, and was created to train and support young scientists in the pursuit of innovative and groundbreaking stem cell research. In addition to financial support, fellows are welcomed into NYSCF’s greater Innovator Community — which includes over 200 best-in-class stem cell scientists and neuroscientists based all around the world — where researchers are provided additional opportunities for scientific growth and collaboration through an annual scientific retreat, the annual NYSCF Conference, mentorship opportunities, and career development training, among others.
NYSCF thanks Fiona and Stan Druckenmiller for their pioneering and long-standing support of this program.
