Our Crowdfunding Groups
The goal of our project is to determine the mechanism by which stem cells differentiate into blood cells. The overarching purpose of this research is to make it easier to create blood cells from stem cells, which has the potential to benefit blood-deficient leukemia patients. If you would like a complete description of our project, please watch our video above!
Over the course of our LaunchUMD campaign, we hope to raise $4000 for our project. This money will go towards materials that will be used in our laboratory research, including the stem cells we will be working with. Our research cannot happen without this money, so we appreciate any donation that you can make. Thank you!
