The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation awarded $150,000 for a one-year grant to support the stem cell Targeting Project led by Karen S. Aboody, M.D., assistant professor in the divisions of Neurosciences and Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, and Chu-Chih Shih, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Division of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. The project investigates the ability of stem cells to migrate toward human glioma cells and other tumors. The foundation has now supported the program for three years.
