Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center

Join the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center Challenge: Double Your Impact and Help Unlock $15,000 from Dr. Lorna Carlin!

Today, your gift can go twice as far in driving life-changing discoveries at the UC Irvine Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center (SCRC).

We’re aiming for 25 gifts to unlock a $15,000 challenge gift from Dr. Lorna Carlin. That means every dollar you give brings double the support to our scientists, accelerating research that fights disease, repairs injury and transforms health.

Stem cell and gene therapy research are paving the way for better treatments and brighter futures, giving hope to those facing serious health challenges by uncovering new ways to heal and restore the body.

Without research, many of the medical advancements we rely on wouldn’t exist. Your gift today not only fuels innovation — it multiplies its impact.

Every gift, big or small, gets us closer to unlocking the full $15,000.

Let’s make a difference together. Join the challenge, spread the word and help us reach our goal!

Give now and double your impact for a healthier future! Thank you for being part of this exciting effort!
