Our team consists of students from University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University. Our goal is to repair damaged hearts. We are engineering embryonic stem-like cells to recognize and bind to damaged heart cardiomyocytes, form a sheet of cells and then differentiate into cardiomyocytes in situ. Cells that fail to bind in a defined amount of time will self-destruct. | Our team consists of students from University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University.

Our team consists of students from University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University. Our goal is to repair damaged hearts. We are engineering embryonic stem-like cells to recognize and bind to damaged heart cardiomyocytes, form a sheet of cells and then differentiate into cardiomyocytes in situ. Cells that fail to bind in a defined amount of time will self-destruct.
