Stem
cell therapy can be defined as a part of a group of
new techniques, or technologies that rely on replacing
diseased or dysfunctional cells with healthy, functioning
ones. These new techniques are being applied experimentally
to a wide range of human disorders, including many
types of cancer, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's
disease, spinal cord injuries, and diabetes.
Our
partner hospital has a center with one of the most
accomplished team of stem cell research leaders. These
scientists are exploring the full ability of stem
cells to transform medicine and offer new hope to
millions of people. In Manipal scientists are working
on both human adult stem cells and human embryonic
stem cells.
The
Center is providing a comprehensive and coordinated
"bench to bedside" approach to cell therapy,
including basic and clinical research programs, and
the development and administration of new therapies
to patients. Leveraging its investigators' exceptional
track records in stem cell, "first in the nation"
stem cell clinical trials, the Center is promoting
cutting-edge research which is translating into clinical
applications. The Center is building on existing excellence
at the affiliated institutions in heart disease, bone
marrow transplantation, Vascular Disease, neurodegenerative
diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Spinal
cord injury.
