Purpose
To ensure adherence to ethical and legal principles of hESC research, the University of Washington has established an Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) Committee.
To learn quick facts about UW oversight of human embryonic stem cell research and human induced pluripotent stem cell research, view the ESCRO FACT sheet.
Principal Investigators (PIs) with existing hESC research protocols should submit a new ESCRO application no later than 3/31/2009. PIs with any new hESC research must recieve ESCRO review and approval prior to the commencement of the research.
The UW policy on hESC research, GIM-36, describes those research activities that are prohibited, those activities that are exempt from ESCRO review, and those activities permitted but require ESCRO review and approval.
Interested in learning more about stem cells and their uses? The UW houses the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM), which consists of a world-class team of over 130 faculty conducting basic research on stem cell and progenitor cells. In addition, several organizations provide educational resources for your benefit.
