The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), last week announced a $5 million gift toward a $20 million fund that will allow its researchers to expand their work on embryonic stem cells.

Intel chair Andrew Grove (above) said that he would match every gift between $50,000 and $500,000, up to $5 million, to help the university set up the Stem Cell Discovery Fund and a research program to cultivate and study newly derived cell lines. UCSF is one of two U.S. universities to produce human embryonic stem cell lines listed in NIH's Stem Cell Registry, but the new fund will let its researchers go beyond those derived before President George W. Bush's deadline of 9 August 2001.
