About Center

Established in 2011,  Stem Cell Research Center (SCRC), a 400-square-meter facility, is currently located in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Daneshgah St., Tabriz - Iran. Since its establishment, the center has tried to play a key role in efforts to establish a research framework for the discovery of novel approaches in stem cell lineage commitment, underlying mechanism, and fundamental biology as well as in the development of therapeutics to be used in the treatment of diseases. The center's broad expertise contributes to a greater understanding of fundamental biology of either adult or embryonic stem cells which lead to develop pre-clinical models of stem cell therapeutics. Our center targeted research includes embryonic, adult (including hematopoietic, neural, marrow- and tissue-derived), and cancer stem cells.  Some kind of diseases targeted for stem cell therapeutics include hematological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, angiogenesis-related pathologies, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, dental problems, and regenerative medicine. 12 Faculty members currently reside within the center.
