Centre for Stem Cell Research

The University of Adelaide’s Centre for Stem Cell Research is a collaborative initiative comprising 18 mature research groups located in the Faculties of Sciences and Health Sciences, the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Sciences, and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Its members undertake internationally recognised and awarded research on areas such as the isolation of adult and cord blood stem cells, clinical applications including potential cures for stroke damage and cardiac repair, as well as novel approaches to diseases such as cystic fibrosis and leukaemia.

The focus of the centre is on translating basic research into clinical and commercial outcomes via collaboration of its members, and with external partners.
