We provide contract research services, wet lab facilities and hands-on education for all ages (K-12, college & professional scientists.) Pathways to Stem Cell Science is a non-profit biotech organization and unique provider of real-world training in molecular cell biology, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. We work collaboratively with both academic and industry partners to offer innovat

ive programs for students of all ages to learn hands-on science with human stem cells. Our laboratory-based courses feature novel classes, designed and taught by publishing scientists who are also exceptional teachers. Equipped with unique skills, our graduates gain a competitive edge, attend top-tier universities, purse professional science careers and make measurable contributions to the field of stem cell research. Through the correct balance of classroom and laboratory based teaching our students do more than just learn about stem cells in lectures – they learn with stem cells enjoying opportunities to isolate, differentiate and research a variety of human stem cell systems. Taught in state-of-the-art facilities with modern research equipment our programs provide cutting-edge training and unique experience in critical skills for all aspects of stem cell research from basic science through to translation and commercialization. In addition to our own team of experienced stem cell biologists, we connect students with professional scientists thorough a wide array of partnerships with R1 universities, hospitals, research institutes and industry labs. At Pathways to Stem Cell Science we believe immersing students to real-world science has profound benefits for their scientific, academic and social development. Hands-on enquiry based science fosters confidence, discipline and improved problem solving skills as well as addressing the growing need for a well-trained laboratory workforce. Besides creating future scientists, we are also dedicated to increasing diversity within the field of stem cell research by providing opportunities for fee paying students and scholarships for the traditionally underserved. We bring together students for a range of socioeconomic backgrounds in the common goal of advancing stem cell science. Offering more than just STEM enrichment, we kick start the careers of future scientists and hone the skills of current scientists, through sophisticated training in marketable skills for all career stages.

LABC’s Winter Education Programs ❄️🔬

This winter, students in our Methods in Stem Cell Engineering program explored how scientists study cancer at the genetic level using RNA interference (RNAi)—a powerful technique to “turn off” specific genes.

By targeting Oct-4, a gene linked to stem cell identity and cancer, students designed and conducted their own experiments to better understand cancer stem cells—the drivers of tumor growth.

We also welcomed:
✨ CIRM Bridges scholars from Pasadena City College (Dec 15–21) for Advanced Stem Cell Techniques
✨ CIRM COMPASS students from CSU San Bernadino CSUSB (Jan 5–9) for hands-on mammalian cell culture training

Hands-on science. Real-world impact. The next generation of researchers starts here.

The LA Biotech Center is proud to welcome Dr. Yesai Fstkchyan as our new Director of Research and Education!

Dr. Fstkchyan, a cell-biologist and bioengineer, earned his BS in Cell & Molecular Biology from CSUN and his PhD from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research uses CRISPR genome editing to study how DNA and the Y chromosome influence stem cell growth and bladder cancer.

In his new role, he will lead education programs, mentor students, and launch research services for biotech companies. This June, he will also introduce a hands-on research training program for high school students, helping expand opportunities for young scientists.
