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. We are actively enrolling patients in studies using stem cells for the treatment of heart failure, heart attacks, and peripheral vascular 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. Please visit our Current Research page for more information about our current trials.

We are a network of physicians, scientists, and support staff dedicated to studying stem cell therapy for treating heart disease.  The goals of the Network are to complete research studies that will potentially lead to more effective treatments for patients with cardiovascular disease, and to share knowledge quickly with the healthcare community.
