WEBVTT NOTE duration: "00:02:14.314" NOTE Confidence: 0.9820421 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:05.519 Stem Cell Center at Yale NOTE Confidence: 0.9820421 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:06.580 has a big mission. NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:08.240 We wanted to build a NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.260 major center that will produce NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:12.639 significant impact on improving human NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:14.155 health. So how to achieve NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:14.155 --> 00:00:15.115 that? We had to build NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:15.115 --> 00:00:16.635 a center that's comprehensive, has NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:16.635 --> 00:00:18.314 a basic research component, then NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:18.314 --> 00:00:20.154 has a translational and clinical NOTE Confidence: 0.9752372 00:00:20.154 --> 00:00:21.215 application component. NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:21.835 --> 00:00:22.954 We, in the past twenty NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:22.954 --> 00:00:24.154 years, have done great job NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:24.154 --> 00:00:25.855 building the basic research component, NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:26.074 --> 00:00:27.195 and now we are in NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:27.195 --> 00:00:28.960 the process of expanding onto NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:29.020 --> 00:00:31.020 translational and clinical side. So NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:31.980 our vision is in the NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:33.739 next ten years, this center NOTE Confidence: 0.9273199 00:00:33.739 --> 00:00:34.479 will be truly NOTE Confidence: 0.9975586 00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:35.440 comprehensive. NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:38.159 We have, three great advantages NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:39.260 to do that at Yale. NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:39.260 --> 00:00:40.879 One is Yale has such NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:42.860 a amazing community of world NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:44.645 class researchers, leaders in many, NOTE Confidence: 0.9455386 00:00:44.645 --> 00:00:45.465 many fields. NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:45.845 --> 00:00:47.445 If there's any question you NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:47.445 --> 00:00:48.725 have, you can always find NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:48.725 --> 00:00:50.485 some expert on campus who NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:50.485 --> 00:00:51.684 can help you address that NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:51.684 --> 00:00:53.284 question. And the second advantage NOTE Confidence: 0.9811849 00:00:53.284 --> 00:00:54.425 is that we have outstanding NOTE Confidence: 0.9786377 00:00:54.805 --> 00:00:56.585 community of clinical researchers. NOTE Confidence: 0.92726934 00:00:57.285 --> 00:00:59.100 Not only their clinical practice NOTE Confidence: 0.92726934 00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:00.780 is amazing, but also they NOTE Confidence: 0.92726934 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:02.460 are very research savvy and NOTE Confidence: 0.92726934 00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:04.060 they are very interested in NOTE Confidence: 0.92726934 00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:04.560 collaborating NOTE Confidence: 0.7288411 00:01:04.860 --> 00:01:06.000 with special scientists. NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:08.380 And that is a amazing NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:09.740 advantage we have and that NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:09.740 --> 00:01:10.619 we are led to stem NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:10.619 --> 00:01:12.265 cell center to further flourish NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:12.265 --> 00:01:14.185 into the clinical arena. And NOTE Confidence: 0.8802807 00:01:14.185 --> 00:01:14.845 I must, NOTE Confidence: 0.9588623 00:01:15.385 --> 00:01:16.444 point out the last NOTE Confidence: 0.7898837 00:01:17.065 --> 00:01:18.985 advantage which certainly not at NOTE Confidence: 0.7898837 00:01:18.985 --> 00:01:20.665 the least, Yale has an NOTE Confidence: 0.7898837 00:01:20.665 --> 00:01:21.165 amazingly NOTE Confidence: 0.90419924 00:01:21.465 --> 00:01:23.565 collaborative culture. Here we believe NOTE Confidence: 0.9861328 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.340 that collaboration can generate synergy. NOTE Confidence: 0.99072266 00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:27.940 Only when we collaborate, NOTE Confidence: 0.8835642 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.840 we can generate one plus NOTE Confidence: 0.8835642 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.600 one, that's greater than two NOTE Confidence: 0.8835642 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:33.760 type of situation. And, I NOTE Confidence: 0.8835642 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.220 personally, in my centers, NOTE Confidence: 0.779541 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:36.500 for development NOTE Confidence: 0.8679199 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.285 have benefit tremendously from this NOTE Confidence: 0.8679199 00:01:39.285 --> 00:01:39.785 sculpture.
