n Flow Cytometry Core n Genomics Core n Human Immune Monitoring Core n Histology (Morphology and Phenotyping) Core n Organoid Core n Stem Cell Biobank & Disease Modeling Core

GATES BIOMANUFACTURING FACILITY (GBF)

The GBF features expertise in process development, manufacturing of cell- and protein-based therapeutics, and FDA Phase 1 clinical trial quality and control regulations to ensure that on- and off-campus research can progress into clinical trials as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH

Through the Gates Summer Internship Program for undergraduates and Gates Institute’s support of the graduate program in Cell Biology, Stem Cells and Development, we are committed to moving the field of regenerative medicine forward by developing a pipeline of highly skilled future scientists and physicians. The Gates Institute Seminar Series and community outreach highlight advances in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.

Research Funding

Financial support is available at critical stages for projects/teams affiliated with Gates Institute through direct grants and endowment distributions. The Gates Grubstake Fund provides support for the translational development of research projects into patented, clinic-ready products.

Business Development And Commercialization Support

Gates Institute collaborates with CU Innovations to bring together investigators and industry partners or investors to translate novel biomedical technology into patient impact. As an example, Startup Toolbox provides crucial funding to bring promising regenerative discoveries to the clinic and access to regulatory and business formation support.

A Microgrant Program Lowering Barriers To Commercialization

Developing a cutting-edge therapeutic or novel healthcare technology is challenging and requires a different skillset from academic research. To address this need, the Startup Toolbox was conceived to support Grubstake awardees and encourage entrepreneurship.

The Startup Toolbox is jointly managed by Gates Institute and its partners at CU Innovations to provide guidance, services and resources to help entrepreneurs develop their discoveries and improve patients’ lives.
