The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center said today it has provided a $570,000 grant to establish an international stem cell registry at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The registry will be an online resource for academic researchers, companies, and members of the public looking for information on stem cell research. The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center is a quasi-public agency that administers Gov. Deval Patrick’s 10-year, $1 billion initiative to support the life sciences industry.
