#JPM26 The cash is flowing this year at the California gene therapy research program. Read about its $100M platform funding on the California Stem Cell Report. #genetherapy https://t.co/mG5crc7EJZ

[David Jensen @DavidJensen]

Calif is putting up $100 million for gene therapy platform technologies. It is part of what the nation's largest, state-funded cell/gene therapy program, the $12 billion California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, is doing. See this. #JPM2026 https://t.co/eSuWQIhBur

The Golden State answers Trump's vast scientific research cuts with $23 billion proposal to create an enterprise akin to a California version of the NIH. But there is a big catch. https://t.co/IzZs8cAyV3

The Golden State has awarded billions for stem cell and gene therapy research over the last 20 years. Read this on the Calif Stem Cell Report to see the big winners. #stemcells #genetherapy #𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗖𝗥𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

Despite research funding problems in Washington DC, California is pumping record amounts of cash (more than $500M) into stem cell and gene therapy research. Read about it on the California Stem Cell Report. https://t.co/fwXNXhl8Xx

Value of Golden State's stem cell/gene therapy program was clearly on display earlier this week as turmoil engulfed the national biomedical research world. #genetherapy #stemcells

This evening, I am writing an article about a rare disease funding pitch to the CIRM board supposedly signed by 1,005 people, including you. Did you actually sign the letter? My email is [email protected], which is a better way to communicate.

@gravitomag Can you please tell me what the status is of your lawsuit against 3CE? Thanks.

Too much of a good thing in California with stem cell and gene therapy trials? $12 billion agency imposes a five-month hold on applications for cash. "Tsunami" of applicants.

Calif's stem cell and gene therapy program chalked up its 100th clinical trial this month. The state stem cell agency has popped for nearly $900M in clinical trial support. https://t.co/3U4yZZ6TZX

[David Jensen @DavidJensen]

California just cracked the century mark with its clinical trials for stem cell and gene therapies. Something like nearly $1 billion in funding. Read all about it on the California Stem Cell Report. #stemcells #genetherapy #clinicaltrials https://t.co/3U4yZZ6TZX

@ArunSharmaPhD @CIRMnews For a look at some of what happened that morning, check out this item on the California Stem Cell Report. The agency also gave away $77 million in research-related awards. #stemcells #GeneTherapy https://t.co/phxTUTuuqx

Visiting @CIRMnews HQ in SF for the first time. Thanks for making California a world leader in stem cell research and therapy! 🧫 🔬

[David Jensen @DavidJensen]

Calif's stem cell and gene therapy program is swamped with applications for tens of millions of dollars for clinical research. Hold on applications proposed. Devastating and damaging, say scientists. #stemcells #genetherapies #cirm https://t.co/Rx2YTeIjzj

Looking for a well-paying job giving away $4 billion for stem cell and genetic therapies? The post is open in the Golden State. #stemcells #genetherapies https://t.co/BJM1INpF2b
