The Morsut Lab is pleased to welcome two new members: Marion Johnson and Alexander March. Marion attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where she acquired a bachelor’s degree in biology and completed an undergraduate thesis investigating the role of a cellular organizer on spider development in black and brown widows. A long-time resident of Southern…Continue Reading Lab welcomes Marion Johnson and Alexander March

The price of progress is not only the energy and talent of stem cell scientists, but also the research dollars that support their discoveries. In recent months, faculty members have secured numerous grants to support stem cell-based approaches to study and treat illnesses ranging from osteoarthritis to Alzheimer’s disease to cystic fibrosis. To read more,…Continue Reading USC’s stem cell scientists secure the dollars to fight disease
