The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee (JHU SOM ESCRO) It is the policy of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHU SOM) that all research using human embryonic stem (hES) cells and/or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) involving human cells being conducted by JHU SOM faculty, staff or students or involving the use of JHU SOM facilities shall be subject to oversight by the JHU SOM ESCRO committee. All such research must be approved by the JHU SOM ESCRO committee. On this site, you will find all of the information and tools that you need to determine if your research requires JHU SOM ESCRO notice or review and if so, how to submit your proposal to the JHU SOM ESCRO committee. JHU SOM ESCRO committee review is not required for the following research: human umbilical cord blood, human adult cells, human induced pluripotent stem cells, human embryonic germ cells and human/non-human chimeras. However, ESCRO will review this research upon request of the IACUC, IBC or JHM IRB. |
