Minnesota Medical Foundation at the University of Minnesota
"University of Minnesota Stem Cell Institute"
At the University of Minnesota Medical School, a unique consortium
of scientists have been assembled to help unlock the potential
power of stem cells, establishing a first-of-its-kind Stem
Cell Institute. A video was produced to attract the attention
of potential stakeholders-donors, legislators, and other advocates-as
a means to generate additional support for the Institute.
Goals
- Produce a video that educates viewers about the potential
for stem cells and University of Minnesota's place among
world leaders
- Demonstrate that stem cell biology is a key strategic
priority at the University
- Present the basic and clinical science application of
stem cell biology
- Discuss the ethical dilemmas that arise and how the Institute
has handled them
- Show that the Institute was made possible through philanthropy
- Carry the Campaign Minnesota theme
Results
- Over 75 presentations have been made to potential donors
using the stem cell video
- Video has also been used to educate state legislators
on the potential of stem cell science
- Institute has received a large donation from a medical
school alumnus impressed with the video and direction of
the Institute
