This website was created to encourage and emphasize the importance of STEM education as a part of Professor Feinberg's Stem Cell Engineering Course 42-698 at Carnegie Mellon University. Our group hopes that this website brings awareness to various types of adult stem cells and their applications as a crucial source for therapeutic applications.
