The New York Stem Cell Foundation announced today that Mahendra Rao, former head of the NIH Center for
Regenerative Medicine, has been hired as its vice president for
regenerative medicine, a new position at the organization.
Rao left the NIH March 28, apparently
unhappy with its lack of funding to advance stem cell clinical
trials. At one point, Rao was also being discussed as a potential successor to Alan Trounson as head of the
California stem cell agency.
The agency says it is on schedule to
name a new president late next month.
