The CDCM bridges the divide between laboratory discovery and translation to patients in clinical trials

What is CDCM?

The Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine (CDCM) is a joint initiative of the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health. It is co-directed by Drs. Maria Grazia Roncarolo, Anthony Oro, and Matthew Porteus.

The CDCM provides the know-how, organizational and physical infrastructure to support investigator-initiated clinical translational studies on cell and gene therapy (CGT) from initial discovery through completion of clinical proof-of-concept trials. Stanford Medicine’s clinical enterprise provides an exemplary clinical environment in which to deploy cures. The CDCM will support the development of life-changing and curative treatments for patients who come to Stanford to receive the highest level of care.

Why CDCM?

A number of distinguishing features make Stanford particularly well-positioned to succeed

Pre-eminent, highly-funded cell and gene therapy program

Significant investment in translational infrastructure on campus

Newly built state-of-the-art GMP facility

Excellence in clinical care and access to patient populations

Why Cell and Gene Therapy?
