California state law and California Institute of Regenerative Medicine regulations require that a Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee (SCRO) review and approve all human stem cell research undertaken by UCSB faculty, staff members and students. This review requirement applies to the use of human gametes and blastocysts (embryos), the derivation and/or use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), human embryonic or fetal germ cells, human adult and fetal stem cells and any other human pluripotent stem cells.
