The CDCM bridges the divide between laboratory discovery and translation to patients in clinical trials
What is CDCM?
The Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine (CDCM) is the translational arm of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. The CDCM was established as a joint initiative of the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health. It is co-directed by Drs. Maria Grazia Roncarolo, Anthony Oro, and Matthew Porteus.
The CDCM provides the know-how, organizational and physical infrastructure to support investigator-initiated clinical translational studies on cell and gene therapy (CGT) from initial discovery through completion of clinical proof-of-concept trials. Stanford Medicine’s clinical enterprise provides an exemplary clinical environment in which to deploy cures. The CDCM supports the development of life-changing and curative treatments for patients who come to Stanford to receive the highest level of care.
