Scientists at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) and the Morgridge Institute for Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have been at the forefront of stem cell research and regenerative biology since James Thomson isolated the first human embryonic stem cell in 1998.
The Thomson Lab continued to pioneer new techniques to advance the field, including methods to generate functional arterial cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells—opening the door for bioengineered solutions to combat cardiovascular disease.
