ProfilesStephen Dalton

Stephen Dalton, Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar of Molecular Biology and founding director of the Center for Molecular Medicine, studies how stem cells can be used to cure degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, or repair injuries to areas such as the brain and spinal cord.

“Using stem cells, my lab is developing technologies with the potential to cure human disease and repair damaged tissue. Private support gives us the flexibility to pursue therapeutic development that is high-risk but with high potential return. This support is critical to drive the next generation of regenerative medicines.”
