Welcome

The Stem Cell Center is dedicated to the study of adult stem cells and their role in treating diseases of the heart and the circulatory system.

Through numerous clinical and pre-clinical studies we have come to realize the potential of stem cells to help patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Whether you are a patient looking for information regarding our research, or a doctor hoping to learn more about stem cell therapy, we welcome you to the Stem Cell Center.

The Stem Cell Center is now recruiting patients for clinical trials using a patient's own stem cells to treat cardiovascular conditions.
View a video in which Dr. Emerson C. Perin discusses progress in adult stem cell studies.
