University of Michigan — Research on Gamete Development (2023)

[Transformative Basic Science] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $2,000,000 to the University of Michigan to support research led by Professor Sue Hammoud on producing gametes from stem cells. This follows our March 2019 support for Professor Hammoud’s research; see that page for more context on the possible benefits of this research. And it falls within our focus area of scientific research, specifically within our interest in advancing transformative basic science.
