Sanford Stem Cell Institute

Sanford Stem Cell Institute

The Sanford Stem Cell Institute (SSCI) is a global leader in regenerative medicine and a hub for stem cell science and innovation in space. SSCI aims to catalyze critical basic research discoveries, translational advances and clinical progress, terrestrially and in microgravity. Its goal is to develop and deliver novel therapeutics to patients who need them most — those with draconian, life-altering and life-threatening conditions like cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, type 1 diabetes, chronic heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, spinal cord injury and myriad others.

SSCI leverages state-of-the art core research facilities for stem cell translational medicine and an extensive Alpha Stem Cell Clinic Network across California to conduct clinical trials of promising new regenerative medicines.
