David Serrano Sewell has confirmed that
he has resigned as a director of the $3 billion California stem cell
agency.
In an email to the California Stem Cell
Report, he said he is “excited and honored about the new
assignment” on the California state board that regulates
physicians. Gov. Jerry Brown appointed Sewell, who is a deputy city attorney for the city of San Francisco, to the board last week.
We reported Sewell's departure from the stem cell agency on
Saturday. In his Aug. 30 letter of resignation, he said:
“As a founding ICOC (CIRM governing board) member, it was a privilege to work with Robert Klein, his drive to fulfill our mission – fudning the best science to discover cures – is inspiring. Collectively, our innovative approach has made California the world leader in stem cell research.”
