Gov Brownback seeks bioscience funds for stem cell center
Gov. Sam Brownback proposed redirecting bioscience money to launch and sustain the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center at Kansas University Medical Center. The plan would divert 1.154 million next year and provide 754,500 annually thereafter to support the center, part of budget adjustments ahead of the May 8 legislative reconvening. The measure follows the center's recent approval but limits embryonic or fetal cell use and aims to fund nonembryonic research.
