With an investment of $15 million into its Stem Cell Institute, the University of Minnesota has proposed to seek treatment for diseases such as Parkinson's, diabetes and heart disease. Research areas include agriculture and veterinarian applications of stem cells and embryonic, neural, muscle and liver stem cells. University of Minnesota offers a master's of science and a doctorate minor in stem cell biology. Two core research facilities, flow cytometry and microscopy, available for fee per use, comprise the university's Stem Cell Institute. Faculty provide training on equipment and data analysis support to interested parties.
