Deputy Provost for Administration Eric Buehrens ’75 says the provost’s office has evolved into “an incubator for interfaculty efforts,” such as the Harvard Stem Cell Initiative (HSCI). The HSCI will be one of the first Harvard institutions to move across the Charles River to Allston, according to Harvard’s public plans.
