Cal State Fullerton's training program in stem cell research got a big boost in December, 2009 in the form of a $1.28 million Bridges to Stem Cell Research grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). The grant went to Nilay Patel, assistant professor of biological science and will be used to prepare students in stem cell research as they take their places in research institutions and industry.
