The ASCC believes the world-class quality of Australian stem cell and regenerative medicine research will in time deliver an improvement in current health care for millions of people that suffer from debilitating disease.

This is the fundamental goal of the many people that work for and with the Australian Stem Cell Centre (ASCC), and it is this desire, to improve people’s lives, that inspires and motivates each of us.

During the past two years, the ASCC has undertaken a broad assessment process to identify and fund Australian research projects of excellence in our dedicated areas of research.

The ASCC currently has 16 research projects in progress across a range of four platform technologies combined with therapeutic programs in haematology and cardiac disease and a pilot program in respiratory disease. Haematology is currently the most comprehensive of these programs and in the very near term will comprise several projects in multiple institutes and states. This program represents a cross-disciplinary, multi-institution approach to creating a new paradigm in the supply of blood products such as red blood cells and platelets.

The Institute for Stem Cell Research (ISCR) is a world-leading centre for multidisciplinary research in mammalian stem cell biology.

Recognised globally as a centre of excellence in stem cell research and technology, the ISCR is dedicated to developing an understanding of the mechanisms underlying stem cell self-renewal and differentiation processes.
Indeed, our mission is to acquire the basic knowledge and understanding of stem cells and cell specification required for development of regenerative therapies to treat human disease and injury.

Ultimately we seek to provide scientific foundations for the application of cell replacement therapies in treatment of human disease and injury.

At the University of Pittsburgh / Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Stem Cell Research Center (SCRC), scientists and physicians are working around the clock to expand the possibilities of tissue engineering by unlocking the potential of gene therapy and adult stem cell research and transferring research findings into the development of effective treatments for damaged or diseased tissues. Medicine has moved from treating the pain of injuries to treating their cause and the SCRC has taken the initiative to lead this movement in the area of cellular therapeutics.
