On May 14 we had the Sue and Bill Gross hall dedication ceremony. I was there showcasing some of our stem cell related research. From the UCI news website:
Dedicated May 14, the institute will serve as a hub for stem cell research and education in the region and house the Sue and Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center. The $80-million, 100,000-square-foot building was designed to facilitate contact between patients in the first-floor clinic and rehabilitation center and stem cell researchers in first-, second- and third-floor labs.
It was an emotional day. Specially for those that worked hard to make this possible. Hundreds of patients and researchers like me will benefit, hopefully, for many years to come of their tremendous effort. Thank You!
I’ll leave you with a video of the event. (Actually that’s me on the white coat on the Youtube thumbnail)
