The UCSF School of Dentistry has received the largest grant in its history: $24.4 million from the National Institutes of Health to address socio-economic and cultural disparities in oral health.

The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation is donating $25 million to UCSF’s stem cell program, one of the largest and most comprehensive programs of its kind in the United States. The funds will be put toward the construction of a headquarters for the program, which will enable scientists to continue their groundbreaking advances in identifying strategies to treat a wide range of diseases, UCSF announced today.

University, state and local officials, philanthropists and community leaders will announce a multi-million dollar gift from The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation to the Institute for Regeneration Medicine at UCSF.
