ABSTRACT
This article reports on the opening of the new stem cell center in Australia. The Australian Stem Cell Center opened in 2003 and is supported by the Australian government with a commitment of $104 million funding to support stem cell research until 2011. The center has spent 34 percent of its research budget on adult stem cell research and 28 percent on embryonic stem cell research in the past year.
