The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF)() is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in the Spring of 2005, with the mission “accelerating cures for the major diseases of our time through stem cell research.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyscf.org/about-us/our-mission )〕 NYSCF established the first privately funded stem cell laboratory in New York City, where NYSCF researchers and scientific collaborators conduct advanced stem cell investigations. The foundation supports stem cell scientists through the NYSCF Innovator Program, and it engages the academic, medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology communities by hosting the annual translational stem cell research conference and other symposia throughout the year. NYSCF aims to educate the public on the importance of stem cell research in new therapies. The foundation focuses on three areas: *NYSCF Research and Laboratory〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyscf.org/research )〕 – Supports non-government funded advanced stem cell research, in the NYSCF Research Institute laboratory and through collaborations with medical research institutions worldwide. *NYSCF Innovator Program〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyscf.org/grants )〕 – Intends to support and train "the next generation of scientists," at the postdoctoral level as Fellows or as Investigators, pursuing innovative work that translates research into cures. NYSCF awards an annual prize to honor the most significant achievement in translational stem cell research. *NYSCF Conference and Symposia〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyscf.org/events )〕 – Convenes the annual translational stem cell research conference and on-going programs for scientists, policymakers and the public. Susan L. Solomon is the CEO, and Kevin Eggan serves as the Chief Scientific Officer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nyscf.org/about-us/nyscf-team )〕 ==History== In 2005, Susan L. Solomon co-founded The New York Stem Cell Foundation with the mission of accelerating stem cell research to cure major disease. Solomon, an attorney with a previous career in business, started as a health-care advocate in 1992 when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Following her son’s diagnosis and her mother’s death from cancer in 2004, she sought to find a way to translate medical research more quickly into cures. In conversations with scientists and clinicians, Solomon identified stem cells as the most promising way to address unmet patient needs. In 2006, NYSCF established its own laboratory, which is now one of the largest private stem cell laboratories in the United States, now referred to as The NYSCF Research Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-l-solomon )〕 NYSCF channels private philanthropy toward stem cell research. NYSCF has raised nearly $100 million for stem cell research both in its own laboratory and in the major medical institutions around the world that it continues to support. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New York Stem Cell Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
