Funded by $4.36 million in funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the $6 million research laboratory will feature a microfabrication facility to analyze stem cells at a single cell level. Construction could begin in October of 2009 with occupancy expected in October of 2010. The stem cell research facility was originally going to be sited on the University’s Castle Airport campus in Atwater, Calif.
