Highly regarded UW-Madison stem cell researcher Clive Svendsen is heading to Los Angeles to become director of the new Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute.
Svendsen, who is co-director of the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center at UW-Madison, will start his new position on Dec. 1.
â??It was nothing lacking from Wisconsin,â? Svendsen said of his decision to leave UW-Madison. â??This was a remarkable opportunity. Really, there wasnâ??t much they could do to keep me â?? it was a very spectacular offer.â?
